The Official Wiffle Ball Appreciation Thread

[Smithers]

for those of us who played whiffle ball every day of our adolescent lives, and maybe even still play now.

we would always use a lawn chair as the strike zone, and however far you hit it w/o getting caught determined if got single/double/etc. that running the bases shit was overrated.

check out the ridiculous curve balls these dudes throw:

thankyou. whiffle ball is the greatest thing ever. its reasonably hard too because you can put so much movement on a pitch and throw some crazy sliders.

havent played in like a year though i need to get a game going.

[we are cured]

My friend's made a website dedicated to their whiffleball league and the Detroit News found the site and featured an article about it.

[SkyXplosions]

we still play a ton...

we use a lawn chair as the strike zone, but we still run the bases, which are usually just our tshirts thrown in a clump.

we also play on the beach A LOT, i recommend it, on a warm sunny day, there is absolutely nothing better to do. although you can combine it with sloshball, and get completely wasted during your game. amazing.

[bigmike]

Yes. I need to play some wiffle ball. My brother and his friends use to play drunk all the time. And then throw cans of veggies into their fire pit to watch them explode.

Me and two of my buddies go down to the Vons near my house and play at 1 AM in the parking lot (if we go earlier, shoppers always ask if they can get an at bat in). There is a giant display of soda cases in the lot that is set up to spell something out or make a design, so we use that as a backstop. We play 1 pitcher, 1 hitter, and 1 fielder. If the pitcher fields it before it gets past him, its an out, as well as if the ball gets caught on the fly. If the ball is hit safely past the pitcher but is fielded in front of the fielder, its a single. If the ball gets past the fielder on the bounce, its a double. If it passes the fielder on the fly, its a home run (sorry no triples). We play with ghost runners, and each player bats until he makes 1 out, and everyone rotates a position. We never have a set number of innings, but we just play until we get bored. That is how wiffle ball should be played.

wiffle ball is simply an amazing game. me and my friends had a league last year...pretty much 2 on 2 league in the side of my friends yard.

we had to run the bases, but we were no where near as intense as the video indicated.

and then me, my brother, and my cousins also had a mini-rivalry that went on last summer, and will probably resume again this summer.

wiffle ball = great

[soundofthebrown]

haha there is even a nintendo ds game for it:

i used to always hit the ball into the gutters on the roof of my house. there's probably still balls stuck up there.

i LOVE wiffle ball. i used to have this solid plastic little tykes bat where one side of it was flat. you could really hit some long balls with that thing.

[thejetstolehome]

man, i'm playing like shit with my friends. i'm too used to playing against little kids at work so i'm not at top form. however, every so often, i drop some sick hammers on them and make them look silly.

[TakingBackDowd]

I was coming home from the Mets game last night and stopped at ShopRite, there was some sick ass bat called The Monster Bat. It's like 4 feet long, one side is flat and the other like a regular bat, but its still very useable. I couldn't resist so i bought it, the thing is a beast

[rcrook]

It's sounds so fucking fun but we don't play it on the west coast:-(

the last time i went to a Mets game, my friends and i played in the parking lot. we didn't have a bat, though, so we used a window brush--i hit a fucking shot with it. i was proud of myself.

also, at work on Monday, one of the kids had an eye patch toy thing so i borrowed it from him, put it on, and took him deep with one eye. that's right--i hit bombs off of 9 year olds.

My favorite line ever about Southern California weather is from Daniel Tosh "Don't you love Southern California, people come here from Omaha and say this place is great but I like seasons. I couldn't live there, I love seasons too much." Then Daniel Tosh says "So do I, that's why I live in a place that skips the shitty ones."

[thejetstolehome]

haha, that's great.

I KNOW! I LOVED IT! i actually had two over the course of my childhood. my dumb older neighbor broke one, so i actually dealt GT for Playstation for the bat and i think Zelda for 64. regardless, it was well worth it.

[shOcktreAtmEnt]

I have a bat that actually has a sweet spot on it. It's so sick.
