The Hudson Valley WBL began their 2011 season yesterday with a matchup between the Brooklyn Bottling Giants and the Marlborough Braves. The Giants crushed the Braves 10-0. Giants pitcher Paul Rivera threw the league's first no-hitter...making it seem that the competition in the league will be much more intense than last year. The league has expanded to 5 teams this year and are looking more official than ever. Hudson Valley WBL has a lot of competition for attention given that fact that they're in New York (the apparent Galapagos of wiffleball lately). But if they keep this up they will doubtlessly turn some heads.
We got our first taste of this relatively new league last summer and I'd so most of us have forgotten about them since (embarrassing). They only had 3 teams and a website that looks like it's straight about of 1997. While they still have that vintage, yet functional, website they have expanded to 5 teams and look to be a lot more active this year. I know there's a lot of leagues in NY but try to spread the love people...Hudson Valley Wiffle Ball League might surprise you.
