Men's Fastpitch Erie PA Aug 1-2

Everyone... sorry about the advertisement...

But Aug 1-2 is the Men's Major Fastpitch tournament I run in Erie PA. Anyone willing to make the trip will see, literally, the best pitchers and players from all over the entire globe: Japan, Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, USA.

8 teams will compete for a hefty prize money.

Games start at 9am Saturday. Use this address for your GPS 1137 E. 11th St. Erie PA

Games will conclude with the top 6 making the play off bracket Sunday (8 total teams are entered).

WARNING.... anyone coming, put away your "he's crowhopping" comments and just enjoy the speed and movement of the pitchers. You will be amazed. And probably equally amazed that the hitters couldn't care less about crow hopping and still hit the ball because, crow hopping or not, it still has to cross the plate. I can promise anyone coming, who's never seen world class men's fastpitch that you will be stuck with open jaw syndrome from seeing these guys in action. No, I won't be pitching.. I am tournament director. So, I don't mean to be rude if anyone comes and introduces yourself... I will just be running mad trying to put out fires and handle things. Those of you with the weekend off... this would be worth the trip for sure. You will never look at fastpitch the same way, I can promise that.

Bill will any of the games be on any public media, it is a far drive to Erie, PA for may of us who would enjoy seeing some of the games?

Good luck hope things go well!!!

Well, it isn't Moline but I guess Erie will do just fine!

I echo what Bill said, seeing the men's game is pretty exciting. There is a different dynamic when the men compete and I was convinced that a nice young man from New Zeland put a few over the catcher and into the chain link just for effect during warm ups!

Go if you can.

Bill,

It sounds like an outstanding opportunity to watch some great fastpitch. I wish I were closer to it. Hopefully some of the people from the women's side of the game can get out to watch. Unfortunately, it's the beginning of the "Silly Season" time of the year. All the parents loose their minds. It's TRYOUT time!!!!

I wish, I wish we could go!! I would love to see a men's FP game! Bring em down to Florida!

Thanks for posting this, Bill. I might try to come on the 2nd.

I wonder if I could convince the wife to an 6 hour rode trip, hmmm.

Bill, can we stay at your house?

Java... shoot some nice video if you go!
