Plastic Baseball

[Shaun Breen pitching to Mike Breen]

Did you know you can reach our site, MajorLeagueWiffleball.com, by going to (the slightly shorter to type) www.PlasticBaseball.com? It’s true. You’ll get automatically redirected back here at MajorLeagueWiffleball.com.

I bought the site PlasticBaseball.com because some of our visitors have argued that we don’t play “real” Wiffle Ball. I agree; we play ‘wiffleball’ (all one word – like baseball). And our style of game isn’t even close to the official Wiffle Ball rules. We play our own version. We tested it for years, and in our opinion it’s the best way to play. Our end result is better described as ‘plastic baseball’.

However, we still call our game wiffleball. The word wiffleball has become a genericized trademark, like Kleenex (tissue), Q-Tip (cotton swab), Band-Aid (bangage), and Jell-O (gelatin). These items are so popular, they’re often referred to by their commercial name, not the type of product. Any baseball game played with plastic equipment is commonly referred to as wiffleball, even if it’s not the official Wiffle Ball and yellow bat.

So if you somehow forget our site’s name (you should really bookmark us so that doesn’t happen), or you can’t remember if wiffleball has an ‘h’ in it (it doesn’t), or if you still think we’re not “real” Wiffle Ball players, just remember ‘plastic baseball’, add a .com and delete the spaces.
