Many of our readers are familiar with Al’s Fastball, which we affectionately refer to as “The Holy Grail” of Men’s Fastball.
Al’s Fastball is operated by Al Doran, in Ontario, Canada. (Al also doubles as the ISC Fastpitch webmaster).
The website provides a wealth of information on men’s fastball all over the world, and his emails go out daily to more than 1,500 fastball fans every day — including me. From time to time, we are asked for information on how to sign up for his mailing list, so we’re posting this link:

At the AAU tournament recently, a friend of mine was chatting with Al Doran and I. My friend told Al that his site was the first place he goes for fastball news every morning, then looked at me, as if he had hurt my feelings. I told him “don’t worry – it’s the first place I go too” 🙂 Al’s Fastball is a good part of the inspiration for Fastpitchwest – to help provide some news on what is happening “out West”. We heartily recommend Al’s Fastball – the website, and the mailing list to all of our readers.
For the convenience of our readers (and the editor), Fastpitchwest provides two easy links to get to Al’s Fastball:
1. Main Menu – the first menu button on our front page will take you directly to Al’s Fastball, the website.
2. Quick Link Bar – you’ll find a “Quick Link” to Al’s Fastball Archive on the far right hand side of that little grey bar at the bottom of nearly every page at Fastpitchwest. (except this blog) We are proud to host the back-up archive for copies of the emails that Al sends out, in chronological order.
