HFWB 2012 Promo

Hess Field Wiffle Ball has recently posted a promo video for the 2012 season. A little soon, I know. But they must be super excited to get another season underway. The league really had a spectacular season in 2011 and seem to have recovered from their 2010 funk. Wish they would have used a different song. It's been done with the Winston-Salem Wiffleball League 2010 promo video (which won 2010 NWLA Video of the Year).

2011 HFWB All-Star Game

Somehow Hess Field Wiffleball has already played their All-Star game. AMAZING. Anyway Hess League whipped the Lamb League 7-1 and this video provides some great footage. I only wish they would find somewhere else to place the camera. While their highlights videos have been pretty good I would still love to see balls actually going over the wall or seeing outfielders make plays too. Putting the camera somewhere behind home plate would be perfect. But as you can see there's not much room back there so the current camera view might be as good as it gets.

HFWB's Chris Hess Throws Perfect Game

Chris Hess leads his braves to a win against Tadd O'Neil and his Red Sox, 2-0. O'Neil and Hess are great pitchers and this would have been one game I'd love to have the opportunity to watch. The Braves could become the top ranking HFWB team in the national rankings after this victory! Congratulations to Chris Hess for the great outing on the mound last night.

GSWL PA Pitchers & HFWB Double Header

Two pretty nice videos were uploaded within the last 24 hours. Wiffleboy28 uploaded a video showcasing the finer pitchers in the GSWL (Pennsylvania Region) and Hess Field Wiffleball uploaded the highlights from a double header matchup between the Cardinals and Mets. The Cardinals swept the Mets (not surprising). HFWB really have their act together this year. The website is being constantly updated and they are posting a video every now and again. They have really improved from last year in this regard and I've got to hand it to them...they have my attention. I'm checking their website now more than ever.

Hess Field Makes The News

Hess Field Wiffleball League gets into the news. This is a great article with some great images. A lot of articles about wiffleball or leagues that make into mainstream news are sort of short or lame but this one is one of the most insightful I've seen in a while.

Hess Field Continues To Impress

Hess Field had their season opener yesterday and the stats are already up! Some of the game results are nothing short of amazing! The league's top two teams (Cardinals and Indians) faced off. The #2 Cardinals and the #17 Indians game would have been amazing game to watch, I'm sure, because it was a perfect game for Cardinals pitcher, Chris Horwedel. 18 Indians batters went to the plate only to sit back down. Final score was 3-0, Cardinals victory which enforced the theory that the Cardinals will reign supreme in HFWB (and possibly in the national rankings). The only other nationally ranked team left in the league, #31 Braves, lost to the Red Sox 1-0. Some unlikely teams may be rising up in the rankings...all the more reason to keep your eyes on this league, the competition is going to be unbelievable.

Hess Field also starting their season May 1st.

At 1:00 PM tomorrow the Hess Field Wiffleball League will kick off their 7th season. They have 4 games lined up for the day (which you can check out on the schedule page). Their website has been updated and as long as they keep it that way they could be serious contenders for 2011 NWLA Website of the Year. The most noticeable change this year is the contraction of the amount of teams. In 2009 they had 12 teams; shrunk to 10 teams in 2010; and now have just 8 teams. Will they continue to diminish next year? The Cardinals look to be the real strong team in the league and are likely to dominate this season. They won the spring invitational tournament that featured their own league and Kingston Wiffleball League (New York). The Cardinals are also ranked #1 in the New York State Wiffleball Rankings. But who knows? Maybe one of the other top teams could knock the cardinals out of the top spot. The only think I care about is the league keeping their website consistently updated...they were simply too detached last year. However, I have a good feeling about HFWB this year...
