Hello Fast Ball fans ,
On behalf of The Castro Family and The Jokers Athletic Club we would like to thank all the teams , players and fans who came to Austin this Memorial weekend to watch some Great fastball action . We had a great mix of nationalities here this weekend from some home grown Texans, a few Californians to some Mexican Nationals a few Canadians and a lone Cuban.
The fate of fastball is a live and well in Austin Texas. Mother nature play a small role again with some rain delays and a 55 min. Lighting show ( delay ) but the games and the Tournament went on.
I would like to thank and congratulate this years Champion Reynosa Mexico 100% Necio and their manager Mario Akino for a great showing with a very talented and respectfull group of guys.
