Why isn’t wiffleball on television?

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.

ESPN should really consider putting wiffleball on television. After all, they already show Washington Nationals highlights on SportsCenter, and wiffleball is easily better than that.

Even if it’s for 1 hour a week during the summer on ESPN2 or ESPNU. Or ESPN could create a big championship event, similar to the College World Series or Little League World Series.

If any of the nice people at ESPN are reading this, and are interested in the idea, please contact me. I’d love to be involved in setting this up for real!
