Memorial Service for Former ISC Commissioner Russell Callahan
Blair Setford • October 5, 2024
Russell Callahan ISC Commissioner for 16 years
Russell Callahan served the ISC as a Commissioner for 16 years in the heyday of men's fastpitch from 1980 to 1995. His friends remember his enthusiasm and passion for the game. He was still in regular contact with many current commissioners, commenting on the games and the aftermath of every ISC World Tournament. He will be missed.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, October 12 at 1:00pm CST at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Grove, OK. It will also be broadcast on Zoom: Meeting ID 898-711-2435 Password 8899842. The dial-in number is 1-346-248-7799
At 33 years old, Shane Boland has already left an indelible mark on men’s fastpitch. As the shortstop and vocal leader for the Hill United Chiefs, he wears jersey #91 and boasts a storied career filled with clutch hits and championship moments. Yet, when he isn’t patrolling the infield, you might find him enjoying a midday meal and hot tub session, playing hockey, or spending quality time with family. A native of Goulds, Newfoundland and Labrador, Shane proudly represents his roots, both on and off the field. Off the diamond, he’s a Police Officer—nicknamed “Sarge.”
At just 24 years old, Matej Ryšavý has already made his presence felt on the international fastpitch scene. Donning jersey #00 for the Georgian Bay Giants, the Prague, Czechia native is entering his third consecutive ISC World Tournament, bringing energy, grit, and a relentless work ethic behind the plate. Off the field, Matej is a student with a love for hiking, cars, and exploring new places—always keeping life as exciting as his game.
