Kamloops Major Men’s Fastball League Opening Day 2018
KAMLOOPS — Tuesday is Opening Night for the Kamloops Major Men’s Fastball League down at Charles Anderson Stadium. While fastpitch softball has been a part of the Kamloops sporting landscape for decades, participation has been in decline since the mid-2000’s; the game has seen a resurgence over the past few years, thanks to the concerted effort of a few passionate ballplayers.
After a winter that felt like it would never end, the boys of spring are back at Charles Anderson Stadium, as the Kamloops Major Men’s Fastball season kicks off tonight at 6:15, and for John Pagnotta, Opening Night couldn’t come soon enough.
“I just love the game,” Pagnotta, aka Johnny Ballgame says. “It’s a great group of guys, and this year we’re six teams, so it’s getting better every year.”
