Sweet Grab
Check out this nice grab by Jamie Francis of Crofton Wiffleball. His team is currently in 2nd with a 5-5 record (only a half a game back from the leader). They only have 3 teams right now but are looking to expand to 5 or more. So if you live on Vancouver Island, contact Jamie.

Wiffle Discussed On Independent Radio Show in London, England
Chad Huff, of SAHD Wiffle, answered some questions on the Justin Wayne Show yesterday. The interview lasted about 15 minutes and you can listen to it HERE, just be sure to skip but around the 36 minute mark. Huff was kind enough to give some other wiffle projects a shout out while on the air such as Golden Stick, Palisades WBL, and Wiffler's Digest. Thanks Chad, we truly appreciate it. What's more is that this broadcast is hosted in London, England - a country that hasn't generated a lot of traffic on this site (or any other wiffle site, I presume). Maybe our friends on the other side of the Atlantic may finally give wiffleball a go.

5 Things: Non-U.S. Countries Who Frequent Wiffler's Digest
This website has been operational for a little over a year now and as the hits have been racking up there have been more and more people visiting the site that live outside the United States. Surprisingly few of these foreign visitors are from this hemisphere. Seriously Mexico, what's the deal? Here are the five countries that visit this site the most:
I suspect that this website has been detecting significant traffic from Canada because of the Crofton Wiffleball League. But it's not out of the question to imagine that there's some guy in the Yukon, huddled in a cabin on a dial-up modem, that has developed a sudden interest in this sport.
3. Taiwan - Although they belong to the Republic of China, Taiwan seems to have developed it's own autonomy in a sense (it was it's own country for a while...loooong story) so much that people from Taiwan, not China, visit this website. To date, there has not been a single recorded person from mainland China to visit this website. I am not sure if Taiwan has more liberal internet censorship than mainland China. I don't see how this site would not make the cut for China. Must be all that anti-communist propaganda we spread? The most logical reason there is a Taiwanese presence in our audience is because there is a league in Taiwan. Unfortunately we do not know much about them since they do not know sufficient English to establish any dialogue. It seems only fair that since we import so much from Taiwan that we export something fun to them.
5. Germany - The only thing more shocking than Germany being among the top 5 non-U.S. countries to visit the site is the fact that they visit more than the United Kingdom and France. Interest in baseball is higher in Germany than it is in France but it's not much. Germany has Baseball-Bundesliga, a 15-team "elite" (professional?) baseball league but the interest in bat and ball sports there is pitiful when compared to sports such as football (or what we call "soccer"). I am skeptical that Germany has enough interest in wiffleball to develop any leagues or tournaments. But then again - you never can be too sure about these things.
*Here is a brief list of other countries that are visiting the site nearly as often as the five countries previously mentioned: Brazil, India, France, United Kingdom, Ukraine, and Australia.
