The time has come to retire our website, www.alsfastball.com
We gave strong hints of this when we published the article

10 December 2025
We knew that changes were coming so gave a heads up to all our many followers and supporters.
The good news is that we will continue to share as much fastball news as we can use our News Group on Facebook – AlsFastball.
We currently have 6.6 K followers on this news group and each week many members invite friends to join us.

There were two main reasons, now three and an obvious 4th reason why we making this decision.
- My vision problems continue and it’s an ongoing challenge to not only read all the incoming email related to our game, but it’s getting harder to do the updates on our website.
- Each March we must find the funds to pay our annual fees to run the actual website we are using. We have been lucky for several years now in that a very kind softball fan from Hamilton, Ontario has quietly provided us with the funds to pay the annual fees for the site. Quite honestly I just do not want to have to ask him again, he has done enough already.
- As we moved into March 2026, it’s time once again to renew the contract on the hosting of our website. As it turns out, our gracious host, Ray Nanji at Net Reliant has decided to make some big changes. He has decided to replace the current provider of web management tools and even email services due to a number of issues and will be moving everything. He has also decided not to be taking on new clients at Net Reliant as his full time job is enough for to handle. He will be moving over his existing clients to a new provider but not taking on new clients. Ray has been amazing to work with and we wish him all the best. He has offered us assistance in archiving our current website and in linking our domain name to AlsFastball on Facebook AND in setting up all new email accounts as we move off his current provider. Our emails will change to @gmail.com but they are not set up yet.
- The obvious one, I cannot do this forever. It’s been a great run, thanks to a ton of people in our game who provided us with information and support. Our website will be archived so that if someone wants to continue with it and make use of tons of great fastball history, it will be available. Dates will be worked out and very soon and then the site will be gone but we will be doing what we can to support this great game on AlsFastball at Facebook.
