The catch seen round the wiffleball world is now experiencing Day 2 of being the top story on Deadspin.com. Deadspin is typically known for controversial stories such as the budgets of MLB teams, the scandal at BYU involving a black player being suspended for having sex, and Brett Favre's penis scandal. But Deadspin doesn't always do negative controversial news, like talk about how the KWL called MLB umpire Bill Welke to rule on a tough call. Welke with 4 other umpires accompanying him at the time of the call agreed that catching the ball before going over the fence is an out. The story has also been acknowledged by AOL's Sporting News recently and will most likely continue to be discussed elsewhere. Who knows? Perhaps it'll make it on ESPN's SportsCenter. This is without a doubt the biggest wiffleball news story of the year thus far, whether you think it deserves this much attention or not.
Wiffle in SouthEast Michigan has posted their latest podcast, making this episode #4, with Carl Coffee hosting. As always, it's nicely done and entertaining and worth a listen. Finally, the Orioles of HRL: Twin Cities posted a Public Service Announcement within the last 24 hours about staying in school. Who knew there would ever be a wiffleball PSA?
The PSA video is my favorite video of the year!
