Greater Ottawa Fastball League on YouTube

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

Thanks to Adam Brown of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League for sharing this television news report, from CTV which features players Dan Konkle, Randy Peck, among others. I think that’s big Dan Bradley pitching near the end of the clip. Great to see the game getting this kind of coverage.

From

Ottawa, ON

This summer, the local CTV affiliate in Ottawa did a feature on the Greater Ottawa Fastball League, where the sports reporter
came and interviewed some players (Dan Konkle, Randy Peck) and the reporter Terry Marcotte actually played in the game and experienced the action.

The game features Ottawa Team Easton (in red) and Stittsville 56ers (in black).

Thanks to Shawn Williams, coach of Carp I4C Victory, for contacting CTV Ottawa and setting up this segment.

Online Team Profile for ISC II Managers

Thursday, August 9th, 2007


(click logo to visit Ballparkradio.com website)

The Ballparkradio crew is asking each ISC II team manager or representative to complete an online TEAM PROFILE form, providing some basic information about your team for their use during the broadcasts.

As with the player profile team, the form is online, so you don’t need to send anything in — just fill in the blanks and click “Submit”. Better still, it’s much shorter than the player form, so it takes just minutes to complete.

We must receive a team form to keep you on the broadcast schedule, so please complete it as soon as possible.

Click here to go directly to the TEAM PROFILE form, or see the link on the front page of Ballparkradio.com

** Note: We would like managers and coaches to complete an “player profile” form too **
