PWBPA Needs You!

Many of you may have over-looked the ad in the latest issue of the Wiffler's Digest Magazine but there is a registry out there known as the Professional Wiffle Ball Players Association - and they need you to register. About 1,500 people have already registered and I think the overall point of the project is to see how many wiffleball players there are out there. There may be undiscovered leagues, tournaments, or teams out there that could be found if a lot more people register. It also could become the largest wiffle mailing list and could serve the purpose of reaching a vast amount of players with important wiffle-related information. Nick Benas, of Big League Wiffleball, has been working on this project for quite some time now but the rate of registration for this has almost stopped. Let's pick it back up! Your info you put in when you register will be archived and you will have left your mark on the game. It's free and you'll receive a membership certificate as well as an occasional newsletter with tournament listings, etc. This project seems to have the intention of filling the void that Wiffleball.net left when they shut down their beloved site. Those of you who remember that website know what I'm talking about.

WiffleBoy28 To Appear On Comedy Central

Sean Steffy, or 'WiffleBoy28' as he's known on Youtube, will be appearing on Comedy Central's Tosh.0 this Tuesday evening. According to the Golden Stick website, Steffy returned from Los Angeles yesterday after filming for the show. It wasn't all easy-going for Steffy. He arrived in LA on schedule but unfortunately his equipment (yellow bat, scuffed balls, & strikezone) were not yet in town. You can imagine how this would devastating this was for Steffy. Fortunately for the WiffleBoy there is an equally enthusiastic wiffler in Los Angeles. Nick Benas (of Big League Wiffleball) was only a 15 minute bike ride away from the hotel Comedy Central provided for Steffy. Benas really came through and literally got on a bicycle and brought Steffy a yellow bat, some wiffle balls, and scuffing tools while Steffy was constructing a strikezone. We'll see if it worked out this Tuesday as it airs on Comedy Central's Tosh.0. Be sure to watch! This television appearance just might be the most attention the sport will receive for quite some time...and it couldn't come at a better time, right at the heels of Steve Everett's (Kalamazoo Wiffleball League) mind-blowing catch that gained national attention.
