Black Stick Wiffleball League Begins Their First Season

There are those kids out there that have wiffleball channels that are just dreadfully boring. You know the ones I'm talking about. Those kids who have videos where the camera is up in their face and they're telling you what's going on with their league instead of showing you what's going on. It's natural to not give a crap about what they have to say especially when you have an uncomfortable up-close-and-personal view of their bad hair cuts, poor complexion, braces, etc. The voice-cracking is hard on the ears too. You watch videos like this and all the dogs in your neighborhood will be howling for mercy. BUT there are those kids who aren't as boring as Hell to watch as you'd expect. Black Stick WiffleBall started out looking like every other crappy kid channel with a little dude throwing the ball to no one but the channel has progressed. They apparently got a few teams together and started their season. They actually have a real strikezone, which is super impressive since most kids either don't have a strikezone when they first start a league or they use a chair or something similar. They also use a small backstop, which gets them bonus points because it can't be easy moving that stuff around when cars are trying to get through the neighborhood. After watching this video I was really surprised by two things:
  1. That kid with the white shirt has a really nice screw ball.
  2. Whoever made this video, I'm assuming one of those kids, listens to Bill Withers.
