OPENING CEREMONIES
Brian Ballie led a very brief but classy
opening ceremony with a tribute to our good friend Tom (Mac) MacAvoy who is in hospital in New York tonight. Our
thoughts and prayers are with Tom and his family.
The Swiss Choir sang an excellent rendition of both USA and
Canadian national anthems.
Opening pitch by a local gentleman who can still throw some heat
(I failed to write down his name). He was wearing his uniform from about 1956
and his glove looked similar vintage but in excellent shape.
A good sized crowd in attendance for
opening night.
Some changes around home plate, all new aluminum stands and a new
tent over the score keepers table.

GAME 2
JARVIS GAMBLERS VS CIRCLE TAP
Nice (very classy) introductions to the Blue Crew including
visiting ISC UIC, Bruce Bierman
A gold mine of experience in the blue
on the field. Brian outlined the careers of each,
especially Bierman, and I did not add it
up but a lot of years all together.
UIC Peter Klucyznski has assembled a “dream
team” of umpires for this tournament. I understand they line up to work this
tournament, its known
for the quality of the teams and play and every senior umpire wants the
experience of working at this level. Seen here are the blue who work the
ISC world tournament as well as Canadian nationals and world level ISF tournaments.
There are umpires from all over Canada assembled, including Bob Henning from
BC, Lou Davis from NS, and Serge LaFlemme from QC.
JARVIS GAMBLERS AT CIRCLE TAP

C: Allan Phibbs
For Circle Tap:
Kevin Reichardt had 2 doubles
Chris DeLarwelle had a double
Garvey had a double
Ormsby had a home run.
For Jarvis:
Ryan Thompson had a double and a walk.
The talk of the game was the rain delay of 1 hour and 24 minutes.
Actual rain was about 25 minutes and was very hard with lightening all around,
which is why the game was called in the first place, before the rain.
Monkton’s crack Grounds Crew went into action quickly once the
rain stopped. A lot of work with the rakes and brooms and a number of bags of
magic dust (or was it kitty litter?) were worked into soak up the wet and then
we were ready to play again. Home plate umpire Bob Henning gave full marks to
the Grounds Crew for their quick work and for making the field safe to play on
again.
Circle Tap broke the game open in bottom of the 6th
with three runs to break the 1-1 tie.
The game was a lot closer than the score would indicate. Jarvis
held their own right into the 6th inning
Up until the rain hit, there was a good sized crowd enjoying the
game. I give full marks to the hard core fastball fans who
stayed and watched the remainder of the second game. The night
was actually very pleasant other than the brief period of rain, a few work
light jackets but most were in short sleeves and enjoying the evening.
We were able to do a number of inning by inning updates using the
BlackBerry, see

Unfortunately this game was over almost before it started. It
started 15 minutes before the scheduled time and by the time I got to the
diamond from my office in the arena, BB was up by six
runs.
Very hot afternoon in the ball park. Fans looking for shade so area behind home plate is almost empty.
The next game with the Farm arrives early.
In the meantime, the super grounds crew are
doing a special grooming of the diamond.

KITCHENER RIVERSHARK TWINS AT CASA TREJO A-1 BOMBERS

For Kitchener:
Four hits in the first inning Twins pushed across three runs.
Jody Eidt solo HR and went 2/3
Mullaley went 2/3 with a run
Todd Martin threw a 4 hitter with 13 K’s
The crowd knew from the first pitch that Kitchener wanted this one
bad. Wolfe led off with a double and although he may have touched the bases he
was running so fast it did not appear he was touching the ground.
With 1 out Pat Shannon hit a single and Wolfe was over to 3b.
With Eidt at bat, Wolfe steals home so
fast they do not know what hit them.
Ezekiel hits a single. Moves to 2b on a passed
ball.
Mullaley singles and Ezekile
runs home.
Half an inning and the gauntlet is down,
Kitchener lead 3-0 before Bombers get an at bat.
Todd Martin was pumpled for this game
and looked unbeatable.
T6 Jody Eidt home run makes it 4-0
Mullaley hit by pitch is moved to 1b. Moves to 2b on a passed ball. Sandford
singles and drives in Mullaley.
Marty Grant comes in to pitch for Bombers and appears to be
working through the pain in his leg.
A good sized crowd out to enjoy the ball this evening and the
weather is great. Nice light breeze.

Another fantastic tournament run by
our good friends in Monkton. A quality event that so many
regular fastball fans have on their annual calendars. This year was no
disappointment. The ball was great, the hospitality
was second to none.
A standing ovation to the world’s fastest grounds crew and
the host committee – a BIG WELL DONE!

To my friend Dave:
A very special note: My good friend Dave is in the hospital in
Toronto this weekend and I want him to know that all the regular fans
you have sat with for many many years miss you a lot
AND wish you well. Your brother delivered your message to me and I want you to
know that it made my day to hear you were following all the action on www.alsfastball.com while in the
hospital. Dave, we all want you to
get better soon and get back to the ballyard! AD

Monkton 08 - Official Tourny Program... Letter from
the Chairman 08

Letter from the Chairman – 2008
Greetings fastball fans!
Once again, a hearty welcome to all who
have convened in our wonderful little village for the 2008 edition of the World
Fastball Invitational.
If you have visited us in the
past you have seen first hand what an amazing event
we put together.. For those first timers or anyone
considering making the trip to Monkton, I can assure you this… you are in for
the very best fastball (and so much more!) jammed into one week-end on the
planet!
For each of the last 5 years, I have
told myself that come June 1st, I will have composed and forwarded
this letter to Andy (Bader) in order to meet our deadlines and printing this
wonderful program in which you are reading. Yet my daily rigors (and perhaps a
little procrastination) have left me typing this out in the eleventh hour once
again. The old adage of how time flies certainly applies here.
Andy you’re an amazing guy and a very
important part of the success of this event. We are forever grateful for your
time, effort, passion and love of our town, it’s residents
and the game of softball itself.
This past year has seen a number of
changes within our tournament organizing Executive Committee, and none more
important than the appointment of Mr. Kevin Quipp as
our President. Kevin is a long-time resident, avid player and fan of the game
and is as passionate about the success of this event as we are to have him as
our leader. I would also like to thank Tammy Machan,
another lifetime resident, fastball player/fan and long-time member of our
Committee who is a pillar of this event and comes thru time and time again
whenever needed. Huge thanks to you both, and as always to the Committee who
once again have worked year-round to create what we know as the premier event
on the Senior Mens fastball circuit. Words of thanks
and praise go out to all players, teams, owners, managers, umpires, and the
hundreds of volunteers who have given so much to ensure that once again Monkton
shines for the World.
See you at the park!
Brian Baillie – Chairman

attention a very valid question.....
