Ontario Masters “A” & “B” Championships

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

From our friend Dave Birnie, via From

[Niagara Falls, Ontario] -Calling all masters teams in Ontario, especially new teams !

The Ontario Masters “A” & “B” Provincial Championships will take place July 18th. 19th. & 20th. in Niagara Falls Ontario at Ker Park. The Ontario Amateur Softball Association ( OASA ) has added a brand new “B” division for this year. This new division was created to allow teams
to compete that normally don’t attend the Ontario Masters Championship tournament. Some
masters players / teams just aren’t quite able to compete with the elite level masters
teams. The upper level masters teams consist of several players who are still playing at a very high level with. There are tons of masters teams in Ontario that no longer attend or refuse to come to the Ontario Masters Championship because as they say ” why do I want to bring my team and get embarrassed by an all star team with a bunch of “ringer” players?” These teams now have their own “B” division to play in against other teams of the same caliber.

The new Masters “B” division has strict eligibility rules in place to ensure any “B” division teams
will be competing against teams of the same caliber. Click the following link to view these new eligibility rules :

http://www.oasa.ca/mensnews.htm

What better way to spend a weekend then by playing fastball in Niagara Falls, why not get a team together for this new Masters “B” division. Need information ? Don’t know where to start ? Don’t know how to affiliate with the OASA ? Age & Eligibility rules ? Check out the Ontario Amateur Softball Association web site : http://www.oasa.ca/

Lots of masters fastball information can be found on the Ontario Masters Fastball web site.

ISC World Tournament 2008 – Kimberly, WI

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

And while we’re talking about the ISC World Tournament, here is the logo for this year’s tournament, slated for Kimberly, Wisconsin. Click it for more information on the event. I’ll be heading back to Wisconsin to help with the ISC II broadcasts this year, which will be held just down the road in Appleton, Wisconsin, and looking forward to seeing Kimberly for the first time in nineteen years, when I went back as a member of the 1989 Vista Rangers team, the predecessor team to the Vista Bombers Version 3.0 that formed the next year.

As noted on the Kimberly Recreation Association (KRA) website, this will be a record setting 11th time they have hosted the event:

1972 – 1975 – 1978 – 1982 – 1985 – 1989 – 1993 – 1996 – 1998 – 2003 – 2008

I recall reading about the 1975 World Tournament, won by the legendary Long Beach Nitehawks, for their record 10th ISC World title. The ‘Hawks defeated the Southern Truck Raiders of Sun City, Arizona in the title game that year. Bob Todd of the Nitehawks was named the Outstanding pitcher that year, with a 5-0 record and 0.60 ERA, while teammate Jerry Flory nabbed the Most Valuable Player award.

More on the 1975 World Tournament below the jump for those interested.
