New League Out of Parkersburg, WV


Take a look at one of the newest leagues to spring up in the country. Meet Timmerman Yards Wiffleball League out of Parkersburg, WV. I got an email from their commissioner about a week ago and he went from talking about starting a league in just that one week. This guy means business as he quickly go the ball rolling and set up a field in his tiny back yard. It looks as if it's maybe about 40 feet from mound to plate and that's it...that's the field. You may turn your nose up at such a small field and criticize but there have been leagues to make such a small venue work in the past. I don't know of any leagues, other than this one, currently sporting such a tiny field. They have one-man "teams" right now and I'm interested in seeing how it all turns out by season's end. But if they stick around for another season there will be noticeable improvement in pitching and hitting will become far more difficult - making this league even better to watch.
