Mike and Mike Pentathlon
August 4, 2008
Listeners to Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN Radio are probably familiar with the pentathlon competition between hosts Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic. So far, they have competed against each other in 3 events….and they’re tied. Yep, it’s 1.5 to 1.5.
Just in case you’re not familiar with the event, Mike and Mike challenged each other to a friendly competition. Mike Golic defeated Mike Greenberg in Horse, but Greeny evened things up when he beat Golic in ping pong (or table tennis).
Greenberg was heavily favored to beat Golic in the running of the bases at Yankee Stadium, however the contest ended in a tie. (Greenberg actually won by .02 seconds, but refused to claim victory because of the narrow margin.)
With only 2 events left (soccer penalty kicks and miniature golf), it’s entirely possible that the pentathlon could end in a 2.5 to 2.5 tie. So what’s the best way to determine the winner?
Sure, you could have them run the bases again somewhere else, and the winner gets credit for winning that stage of the pentathlon. Or, the tie-breaker could be a game of wiffleball home run derby. With all of the hype that ESPN television gives to the All Star Home Run Derby, a head-to-head wiffleball version would be perfect for the ESPN radio audience.

According to http://www.wiffleball.net, there are a few wiffleball players in Anchorage, Alaska, but I didn’t see any leagues. Why not create your own?
As for hitting too many home runs, maybe use a lighter ball, or just move home plate 10-20 feet back to make the hitting behave more like actual baseball.
