Updates from Al
at the park on NEWS-2
Al’s Wrap Up Report:
I will write more later when I am not under the gun to check out of the hotel
but want to say the fastball world owes
Bill Hillhouse a big vote of thanks for planning and running this
tournament in Erie, PA
Bill has worked hard on this one, bringing men’s fastball back to his home
town. He has had some help from several people and hope he can name them next
week when the dust settles but they
include a couple of young lady softball players from the local university who
have worked long and hard on the scoring, including getting me game summary
sheets for the games you see above.
ACT 2 – home from the ball yard at 9pm. I wish I could
say it was an uneventful drive, unfortunately the dashboard electronics
including the AC went out on the Buick after I left Erie. I strongly suspect it
was the extreme heat. I talked to ON* twice and their diagnostics did not tell
them much as the signal was not telling them what the problem was. They just
said, don’t worry about it, take it to your dealer within a week and have it
looked at. Easy for them to say from their cool offices in corporate
GM/ON*land, while I was hurtling down the I90 E towards Buffalo. I took matters
into my own hands, pulled into the Angola service centre, the cool one with the
actually Denny’s in it. Parked the Buick in the shade, went in for a cool
drink. Came out and gassed the car up and when I started it, the AC was back
on, the dashboard electronics were working fine, there was no flashing warnings
about theft deterrent systems nor traction control systems. The old girl is due
for an oil change anyway so will take her to the shop this week.
Home by 9pm
and by 10pm I think I have all the Erie results and the Waterloo results up
where they belong. Again, thanks to the softball ladies from the university in
Erie for preparing the game summary sheets for me. I have never learned how to
read an actual score sheet, and I never will – there is too much danger I might
be volunteered to score a game some day and that is just not going to happen. So
the game summary sheets, as invented by none other than Gary Baughman, ISC
Statistician, are used at ever tournament that alsfastball.com is invited to. We
are still missing games 1-2-3 and we have hopes someone will find those and
scan them and send them to me.
The hotel
recommended by Bill was just great, The Avalon. I had a vision of a
typical midsized motel on the outskirts of town where we would be all staying
but when my trusty TomTom GPS guided me to this stately old hotel in downtown
Erie, I was surprised. It was your typical old grand damme of a hotel in the
downtown core. 8 floors I believe, larger than the typical rural motel we
normally get to stay at, and it had all the usual bells and whistles including
underground parking, included for free. Their internet connection was
fantastic. Service was great, breakfast was good and the hotel was close to the
park. That is where I did ALL my updates over the weekend. I was offered the
use of the ballparkradio wireless stick but it’s kind of a one man dog and
since Kyle needed it to broadcast with, I decided to develop my routine around
trips back to the hotel. Given the heat on the weekend that was probably a good
idea. It gave me a chance to cool down every few hours. Thanks to Kyle Smith
for coordinating with the score keepers to hang onto the game summary sheets
for me until I returned to the park.
Every few
hours I was back to the park, watched a few innings and got to talk to some
fans and ball players, some old, some new. It was fantastic to see our good
friend Jack Ferguson there. It was the first time I had seen him in a park this
year. He hails from the Toronto area and is well known in both fastball circles
(as a fan) and in hockey circles (as a scout). Jack always manages to take in a
ball game while in town as well, no matter where he goes. This weekend he went
to see the local minor league baseball team play, not far from our hotel.
It was nice
to see that so many of the ball players brought along their families for the
weekend. You can bet that if Bill holds the tournament again next year, more
players will bring along the family.
The two
most noticeable fans of course in the park were Maz (Tim) and Pat, probably the two best fans the game has ever
known. What was special about this weekend was “Erie is their home turf!” I have never ever seen these two guys
looking so happy. We got to chat a few times but every one of my trips back to
the ball park I took special notice of these two guys beaming from ear to ear
talking with anyone and everyone, acting as the two hosts / good will
ambassadors of the game. Well done guys, I am so glad I finally got to visit
your home town. These two guys have got to be the most dedicated and well known
fans of men’s fastball ever to enter a ball yard.
The ball park.
And now I have already forgotten the name of the park. Kyle Smith
mentioned it several times during his broadcasts on ballparkradio.com The park was not much to look at when I first
saw it but after getting the history of the place from Bill’s dad, Hugh
Hillhouse, this ballyard held special meaning. The park has been there seventy
years I think Hugh said, so you can just imagine the thousands and thousands of
games that have been played on this dusty field in the middle of town. The park
was not on the outskirts of town, it was right in the heart of the city,
sandwiched between a robust residential area and an edgy industrial area. Parking
may have been an issue if it were a week day, but on the weekend people seemed
to make do by parking in front the businesses that were closed. The park had
adequate stands, mainly behind home plate on the main diamond, where I decided
to make my stand on my frequent visits. There were also some bleachers down the
sides of the park and it seemed people would either stand along the fence or
they brought a lawn chair. The park can hold a lot of people. I will not
comment on the diamonds, I will leave that to the players. I did notice a small
grounds crew efficiently do a quick rake of the batter’s box and re line it
after each game. There was a concession stand of sorts and I will leave that
analysis to the fans who actually like ballpark food. I was highly distracted
by the fact that the drive back to the hotel went past a Tim Hortons, a Wendy’s,
an Arby’s, and a golden arches, all of which the Buick steered into on at least
one occasion.
Kyle Smith and the score
keepers had a bit of a press box to
work in behind home plate and I understand none other than Bill Hillhouse is to
thank for the new chicken wire put up as protection on the front. I was invited
up to the press box but anything that requires a ladder for admission is not on
my wish list.
Jamie, it
was great to see you at the ball park in Erie. I am really looking forward to
seeing your pictures from the Erie
tournament. If they are anything like what you took at the Peligro
tournament in New York City, they should be great.
The umpires – aka the Blue Crew.
I only knew a few of the umpires this weekend and I am so pleased that
Jay Hart was there, he actually looks like an umpire. I will leave the review
of the work done by the blue crew to the players who were on the field. I guess
I am old fashioned and happen to think that the blue should follow a dress code
and maybe just maybe that should include some guidance on hair length. These
opinions of course, as usual, are my own and do not reflect those of anyone
else. Maybe we are spoiled by the quality of the umpires in Canada in
particular and most certainly those we see at the ISC world tournament and
indeed those we see at Canadian nationals and what I saw at the 2009 Men’s ISF
championships in Saskatoon. I was just surprised to see umpires who do not seem
to care what they look like.
The teams. Bill Hillhouse picked some good ones for his
Erie Tournament. Some of the top ranked teams were there and they did not disappoint.
The surprises to me where the two teams I did not know, Blue Lake and the
Budweiser All Stars. They played well and had a good time, and both teams ended
up playing on Sunday, which is always the goal. Congratulations guys. I got to
talk to a lot of the ball players around the hotel and at the park. Everyone was
loose this weekend, this was not the World Tournament but it was an important
warm up for the World Tournament. At the end of the day, none of what happened
will matter in two weeks in Midland, but the timing of Bill’s tournament was
important. Only two weeks to go and it’s important to be playing competitive
ball to get ready for the Big Show. It was nice to see serious men’s fastball
back in Erie. Thank you again Bill
Hillhouse.
Take a week off, please.
