Major League Wiffleball
Wiffleball photos, tips, and product reviews

A few weeks ago, our wonderful MLW roving staff members attended an Uncle Kracker concert and were able to meet up with him after the show. As always, they went prepared with a wiffleball, and Uncle Kracker gladly posed for a photo holding the wiffleball. Judging by his smile, he may even be a wiffleball fan.

This Tuesday, Uncle Kracker released his new CD, “Happy Hour”. One of our staff-ladies who knows a thing or two about music has called it “the best CD of 2009, by far.”

Looks like the Minnesota Twins are getting a new stadium and a new closer. Say it ain’t so, Joe!

This morning, the Twins announced that their closer, and wiffleball fan, Joe Nathan has suffered a significant tear to his ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow which could cause him to miss the entire 2010 season!

It’s sad to see, especially since Nathan, who turned 35 in the offseason, had surgery in October to remove bone spurs from the same elbow to prevent an injury like this from occurring.

The devastating news didn’t come as a total surprise, since it was announced yesterday that Nathan flew to Minnesota for an MRI, just a couple of days after leaving a spring training game against the Red Sox due to elbow soreness.

Nathan has already mentioned the dreaded three words that no fan ever wants to hear [...]

Back in 2000, I got the idea to form my own wiffleball league in Cohoes, New York from a web site run by Joe Creighton across the country in Chico, California.

Joe, who is now living in Seattle, Washington, is the founder and commissioner of Wiffleball2K. Next week, he’s traveling back to Chico, CA for the upcoming Swingin’ For Santa games, and was kind enough to answer a few questions in my first ever MLW interview.

It’s hard to believe that today marks the start of spring training for some pitchers and catchers. After all, 49 of the 50 states have experienced snow in the last three weeks, and in many areas, snow will continue to fall. But the start of spring training means warmer weather is just around the corner, and for wiffleball fans, it’s time to start thinking about your upcoming wiffleball season.

Do you have all of the equipment that you’ll need?

Wiffleballs? Wiffleball bats? Bases? A scorebook? A nice strike zone? A new wiffleball T-shirt? Lucky boxers?

Can you imagine how great it would be if wiffleball was on television? Why isn’t it on there already?

Wiffleball is easily more fun to watch than some sports already on television. For example, I wouldn’t watch golf if the U.S. Open was in my back yard, but I’d watch wiffleball.

Just when we thought he was done, Ken Griffey, Jr. has decided to come back for at least one more season. While another season of Ken Griffey, Jr. may be great for baseball, it’s not as good for wiffleball.

When we started using the Ken Griffey, Jr. black wiffleball bat, home runs flew out of The Sac like never before. However, by the end of the season, the bat lost it’s power, and it became just a regular bat.

So, the next year, I bought a new Griffey bat, and it made a huge difference. There was no comparison to the “old” one. The new bat was just better. To this day, the Ken Griffey, Jr. black wiffleball bat is the best wiffleball bat I’ve ever used…
