There is already a commitment from 2 Japanese Teams and a California team. The Hilo A's (defending Tournament Champs) will have the services of World Class throwers Colin MacKenzie and Robbie O'Brien and the catching prowess of brother Shaun O'Brien. One of the Japanese Teams is Waseda University featuring Japanese National Team pitcher, Yukinori Nakashima. Waseda recently won the NAFA 2005 AA World Series. There are about 6 local Hawaii Teams and hopefully more mainland squads will get the itch to leave the Winter doldrums and play ball in paradise. Hilo, Hawaii is a less-touristed, fishing industrial port town located on the Big Island (aka The island of Hawaii) about 35 minutes from Volcano National Park. An inter-island flight of 35 minutes from Honolulu gets you there. It is a lush verdant area with waterfalls and awesome nature. The locals guys have great hospitality (aloha) and will have barbecues galore. The Kona Coast is located about an hour and a half on the other side of the Island is home to world class resorts, beaches and golf courses. Whale watching will also be in season during February. Come check out the local Hawaiian flavor! Aloha, Jeremy Spear P.S. I'll be coming out of retirement to suit up with the Hilo A's.
