We're taking bets that if it is over the fence it is probably a homer...

Yesterday was the first day of Wiffleball Season at Zabo Field at Phelan Yards in sunny Springfield, MA. The Road Team beat the Home Team 8-7 in 10 innings. It was a very exciting with Jared Bouzan collecting the win with a big strikeout to end the game.

Now seriously my friend Shaun has set up a very good Wiffleball field in his backyard. Probably to the chagrin of his wife Jill, but it is fun none the less. He even has an outfield net set-up so the cranky neighbor doesn't have balls flying at her house when homeruns are hit. Research has been done by visiting the NJWA. It is 42' from the pitcher's mound to the plate (Which is a plastic lawn chair) and dead center is 95' feet away. If you hit the chair in any place it is a strike... no arguments. 7 balls is a walk (Shaun "If I swing I might hit it" Phelan has specialized in walks) and if you catch the ball on the fly and there are men on base and you throw the ball in one motion after the catch and hit the home plate chair it is a double play. We are geeks and we know it. So if you have a team of 3 or more come down to Springfield and challenge us.
