Kids make local news breaking an old record
Some kids break the world record of most consecutive hours of playing wiffleball. These kids had a previous record of 36 hours, I think, but someone broke it. I don't know all the specifics to this story but it's still pretty cool. It may sound like a dream to play wiffleball for 2 days straight without stopping but I have a feeling that it could take the love for the game out of some people. These kids must really like playing. The score at the end of the long continuous game they played was pretty astronomical and they raised a few thousand dollars for the American Cancer Society. The video isn't on Youtube and as a result I cannot embed it or link it in such a way to be viewed on this blog. You can go to the news site that the video is featured on to view the video.

This was a couple years ago. We talked about breaking this record, but nothing every materialized.
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame. Playing more than 48 hours would be insanely difficult.
ReplyDeleteWe talked about doubling it up at 72 hours at the time. A local radio station brought this record to our attention initially.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to know what exactly the record consists of (number or player wise) without calling Guinness. For all we know, we could sub players in and out throughout the time frame. It also hard to know how many players could participate. You could have a lineup of 15 players on each team, thus you would only have to field, hit and pitch so much.
I think you can switch out players because in the video guys climb out of tents. One part mentioned a guy complaining of only getting 3 hours of sleep.
