Thank you, Dan. We won’t look too hard for any subtle humor there.

Thanks for the interview, WCWR. It was fun to talk about wiffleball again. I do miss the sport. If anyone wants to see an extended trailer of the movie my brother has it on his blip page: http://blip.tv/file/394280/
If any of the old guys are out there, I hope you’re all doing great.
Megan

Just finished listening to my sister, how awesome is she?
Just wanted to say, I think this was a really good interview for what you guys might want to look at for the future of the sport. I couldn’t agree more with what Megan said about the sport being too similar to baseball, and the most compelling part is the pitching.
If you watch any videos put out by skateboards or snowboards or other X-sports, you watch them doing amazing jumps or riding rails shot at amazing angles, and you think DAMN!! You aren’t watching them competing at skateboarding or snowboarding tournaments. This is what wiffleball really needs. You guys need to get the best pitchers and setup crazy shit for them to throw around or over or through and get your cameras right there to show how much the ball curves.
The part where Ryan Wood and Joe Nord are throwing the ball between my legs and over me into the strike zone, is the part everyone that watches says, Holy Shit! Please guys, go out and film stuff like that. Put it up online, screw ESPN, you’ve got YouTube. You have distribution channels online that can be more effective.
This summer if you can organize a weekend with the best pitchers, I’ll come and film it and setup a bunch of crazy stuff for these guys to throw around. The video also shouldn’t be more than 5-10 minutes long, because no matter how amazing, it does get old after a while.
Ok…….longest comment ever, but I like what u guys are doing. Viva La Wiffleball!!!

i think that having an event at every tourny would be a great idea, throwing over somethin for drops, fastest throwing speed with a radar gun, throwing under something for risers. . .anything like that will just make the sport more fun, but i dont think that the game should be changed, you might gain some fans but you would be losing some players that love how things are right now

I can’t stop laughing at the show’s logo and the “One Donation is All We Need” on the side.

Loved the Whiff movie. Best wiffle video in my opinion. But I have to give credit to Ben Gardella for making Wiffleball’s first true documentary, contrary to the headline here. State of the Game was a fine documentary of the 2001 season that should be watched by all of today’s wifflers.
