Kimberly is home to the ISC Hall of Fame, and activities to be conducted in conjunction with the World Tournament include: the 2008 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Bridge to the Future Youth Softball Clinic, and the Boys Under19 Tournament.

As additional Tournament details become available, they will be posted on the KRA Website at www.1kra.com

Editor’s note: Some great memories come to mind when thinking of Kimberly…..1975, the 10th (and final) World title won by Red Meairs’ legendary Long Beach Nitehawks, with Bob Todd pitching…..1989, the first ISC World Tournament I had the opportunity to pitch in….those wheelbarrows full of beer going up and down the aisles packed with fans. 2008 should be a another great one there….
