When: Saturday, April 5
Where: Parma, Italy (about 2 hours away)
- This is where Parmesan cheese originated!
- This is also where the American football player goes to play football in the fictional book, Playing for Pizza, by John Grisham.
Time: Double header starting at 6 pm (and second game is tentatively at 8:30 pm)
This is 9 am Pacific Time/ 12 noon Eastern Time.
Transportation: The whole team will be taking a bus to the game on Saturday, and we will be coming home on the bus after the games on Saturday night. (Sometimes on longer trips we don't get back until 5 am!)
Weather: Here is the weekend weather forecast for Parma. Because I know for a fact some of you (Dad and Mimi) are very interested in the weather.
Follow the games: There is not a live streaming video or a "GameTracker" but they have a play-by-play for the games if you go to this website: www.fibs.it
If you go to the website right now, you can't find it. But the girls said that it should show up on the home screen on the day of the game so you can follow along.
Article: Forli Today wrote an article about me! Here is the link if you want to check it out. Remember it is in Italian so hopefully you are able to figure out how to translate it.
Research from Mama Robin: My mother is a computer wiz and always finds tons of information online! So here is an email she sent me with various links and hopefully sources that will put updates, highlight videos, etc. once games start.
Federation for Italian Baseball and Softball (FIBS)
(english link -- doesn't have all the content that italian version has)
FIBS Facebook
FIBS YouTube Channel (all italian -- no english translations that I can find)
I'll be checking to see what gets uploaded once the season starts -- I'm hoping that we might see game highlights?
FIBS Twitter: @FIBSpress
Again, we'll see what gets published when the season begins. I'm hoping to see a Fiorini Forli twitter handle too.
Italian Softball League 2014 Yearbook & Media Guide
(lists all the teams, players, league records, etc.) (written in Italian, of course)
Team Forli starts on page 61.
