FAQ

Q: Where do you guys play?
A: Well, we don’t play anymore. However, all of our games were played on a cul-de-sac, nicknamed “The Sac”, in the city of Cohoes, NY. Cohoes is about 10 miles north of Albany, NY.

Q: That yellow backstop looks really cool. Where can I get one?
A: We bought ours at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Albany, NY. It’s a mesh screen with a strike zone pouch made by a company called Sandlot and came in a package that cost around $70, however it can be purchased separately for about half that cost. The original frame was made out of plastic and cracked and tipped over quite easily, so a $30 Franklin “pitch-back” with a metal frame was purchased prior to the 2001 season and the mesh screen was slipped onto that.

Q: Will you play our league in an interleague game?
A: Sorry, but we’re no longer accepting any challenges. Our playing days are over. We were undefeated in our interleague challenges (1-0).

Q: Are your photos with MLB players and musicians real?
A: Yes, all of them. We’ve actually met these people and they’ve been kind enough to pose with a wiffleball for this site.

    Cobi, Major League Wiffleball disbanded when most of the players hit our mid-20s. Some of the regular players took jobs out of the area and moved away, while others got married and started families, and couldn’t attend games as regularly. Without enough new players coming in, I decided to end the league. I keep the web site active for others interested in wiffleball, so they can start their own leagues.

    It’s too bad MLW had to disband, but as a frequent wiffleballer, I love the idea of Major League Wiffleball. The system your league explained in the Rules tab was very original and effective too. With New York being a baseball hub, a league like this should spring up soon…I just hope and pray a televised pro league comes up…I’d really love that!

    Luke,

    Thanks for passing this along. I don’t know how I missed that site before. It’s really worth checking out.
