Aw c'mon Hal. Even though it is cold here in Canada, there is still some good fastball. Fort Erie, actually the whole Niagara area, in Ontario is still a "hotbed" for women's softball. The reigning WCWS champion pitcher for Washington is from Canada, the west though I believe, not Ontario. In your travels, did you ever come across Darren Zack or Glen Underwood? They travelled around a bit.
