"Awww....Yeah"

The Garrett Drive Wiffleball League finally gets some fresh footage up. This is their first video they've uploaded since spring training and the league just now finished their 5th week of the regular season. I know that this play will be business as usual for some of you but unique plays like this don't happen often in the GDWL...and when they do their rarely caught on video.

GDWL Still Showing Signs of Life

The GDWL is still showing signs of promise for there being a 2011 season. The Green Bears and Hot Dogs are the only two teams officially returning. The Parasites have still managed to not attend any practices. However, Kevin Hancart (former Green Bear rookie) has started his own team - the Dirty Birds. So will there be a 4th team? None can say at this time. Tyler Call (of the Neapolitan Creamers...which are dead) has showed for practice but it's not yet known which team he'll play for. It could be an interesting year for the Garrett Drive Wiffleball League...if they can get a season together again this year. The season is set to start in mid to late May.

Palisades Draft and GDWL Spring Training Today

The Garrett Drive Wiffleball League will be having their first major spring training session for the year today. Up to this point there had only been a few small sessions but now that the weather has shaped up and college semesters will son be over the GDWL appears to be getting ready for some wiffleball. The league may see a few new faces as they try to make up for the loss of their 4th team from last season, the Neapolitan Creamers. Kevin Hancart (successful rookie on the Green Bears team last year) has started his own franchise called the Dirty Birds to fill in the gap. Returning this year are the Green Bears, Hot Dogs (2010 champions), and the Parasites. Some newer players will either be used for another team or two or to really beef up the 4 existing teams. The league also has a new field with a much higher fence, which should be interesting. And they will be filming their games in High Definition. 2011 looks to be promising for the GDWL. No word yet on when exactly their season starts, only that it will be in mid-May sometime.

In other news Palisades WBL will be having their 2011 Draft this afternoon. So if you're not doing anything at about 1:30 pm feel free to watch the draft live! You'll have to be quick though because the draft will only last about 30 minutes.

The Wiffle in SE Michigan "Wind Up" Preseason Tournament results are now up on their website. Check them out! Their season starts April 29th.

The GDWL finally shows signs of life.

The Garrett Drive Wiffleball League has finally shown some signs of life for 2011. The Green Bears were seen practicing yesterday evening in this new upload on their Youtube Channel. The oldest league in the South stunned many when they return from a 2 year hiatus this past summer. But do they have the goods to continue to impress. They hope to return with 4 solid teams and will be playing at a new venue. Last season they had issues with one of their fields (it didn't have a fence). But now they've found a new venue with a 12-foot fence. They've already constructed a new and improved strike zone from the year previous. They will also be constructing foul poles to attach to the fence as well as taking more precautions with field measurements as well as a backstop. Although the GDWL will not turn heads with size or a snazzy website but they look to dress the field to impress...if they can get it together for a 2011 season. Although things look good for them in 2011 the future is still uncertain.
