Monkton, Ont.
Is is once again that time of year - snow melting, warmer temps, and the
boys of summer are all in their respective spring training camps prepping
for the upcoming season.
The same holds true for Monkton, where we are in full-bore planning mode for
the upcoming edition of the World Fastball Invitational being held (once
again) on the Canada Day long week-end - June 28 - July 1 2007.
The off-season has seen many changes - rosters and teams being shuffled in
hopes of claiming the coveted crown of World Champion, which is taking place
once again in nearby Kitchener this coming August. As a result of these
changes, our upcoming tournament will see a new champion. It also promises
to be a fiercely competitive season as there is no true - clear-cut front
runner in the race for the title at this early stage of the year.
Hence, I am very excited to announce to roster of teams that will becoming
to Monkton to compete for the richest prize purse in fastball.
Kitchener Hallman Twins, The Farm, Orillia Riversharks, Broken Bow/Gremlins,
Patsy's NY, Saskatoon Aspen Black Sox, Southern California Bombers, and the
Jarvis Merchants.
Deliberations for the 8th and final spot in our tourny has been a long - and
slower than anticipated process. However, we are extremely delighted to have
the Jarvis Merchants as part of our tourny, as they have shown in their
off-season acquisitions, they are a team that will compete with the very
best in the world every time they take the field.
As always, we promise to deliver on everything fastball fans and players
have come to expect from Monkton - and then some!!! Yes, we raise the bar
once again!
