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.

Every year, it’s a good idea to replace old Wiffle Balls with new ones. Over time, some get cracked, some get worn out, and sometimes you just want a brand new one for a Major League Baseball player to autograph.

Congratulations to Nick Punto and the St. Louis Cardinals for winning the 2011 World Series.

We had the opportunity to meet with Nick in 2010, back in our “Plastic Baseball” days, when he played for the Minnesota Twins.

Punto took the time to pose for this photo while holding one of our plastic baseballs. This was before our league made the switch to use the official Wiffle Ball.

Don’t let the name fool you. Major League Wiffle Ball sounds about as professional as any sports association. But at league headquarters, a suburban home about 10 miles north of Albany, the wisecracks fly as fast as a plastic ball filled with holes. “You can’t hurt the cars with the Wiffle Ball,” said player Mike [...]
