Jim Flanagan

Long Beach, CA

Jim is the founder of Ballparkradio.com, which he started in 2003, as a companion website to his longstanding men's fastpitch website, Fastpitchwest.com, in order to provides an easy to find place for fans to enjoy live and archived broadcasts of men's fastball.  He learned the ropes on streaming audio from David Blackburn, back in 2001 when David was doing test broadcasts in preparation for the ISC World Tournament audio and video broadcast program.

Following his first solo broadcasts in 2003 at the NAFA World Series, he joined up with his friend Blair Setford and the rest of the crew to broadcast the ISC II Tournament of Champions, which they have been doing ever since. Jim has broadcast more than 100 games, with games in Utah, Oregon, Florida, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Canada, and most recently, the Bahamas.

Jim starting playing fastpitch at the age of nine, and still pitches in the So Cal travel league and Masters events, more than 40 years in uniform, including more than 20 World and National tournaments.

In real life, Jim is a lawyer at the Flanagan Law Firm in Long Beach California, having practiced for over 26 years. He comes from a large Irish family of seven children, and is married to Madeleine, aka "Maddy" of  Maddy's Photos, one of fastpitch's most prolific photographers.

His inspiration to want to broadcast ballgames?  "That's easy", he says, "Vin Scully" (longtime broadcaster of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who is an honorary member of the Ballparkradio crew.)
