Super Savvy Are Weird...I Like It

Witness what could very well be the weirdest wiffleball team in the country: the Super Savvy Psychos out of Georgia.

These Kids Have Seriously Never Heard of Wiffle?

Based on the comments on this video's Youtube page, I found out that it was a fake commercial made for a class project. Fine. What the kid doesn't understand is that the ball he held in his hand at the beginning of the commercial is not a "normal wiffle ball." The simpleton doesn't realize that the 'Zebra Ball' is nothing extraordinary, in fact a better version of it was created over 50 years ago...you know, the real Wiffle Ball. Kids have access to such a vast amount of information on the internet yet this dolt appears to believe he invented something. Unbelievable!

Two Dweebs Hit An Indestructible Camera With A Wiffle Bat


At first glance this video looks like a couple of weird guys wearing metrosexual hats and matching vests (cute, right?) trying to perform what they feel is a legitimate science experiment. Well...I guess the deductive first glance works for this video. These guys have managed to take a $300 dollar video camera (GoPro Hero 2) and beat it with something that costs 1% of the cost of the camera (a wiffle bat). The due runs a site called gizmoslip.com where you can watch more videos of them abusing technology. If you're interested they've also thrown the GoPro off a 6 story building and set a Kindle Fire on fire - how clever. Not really. Where these guys get the money to buy all these products is unknown. Why they do this is another fact that escapes me. I think the real question is why do these two grown men dress the way they do?

Who Are America's Best Pitchers?

Let's face it - writing articles can involve a lot of unnecessary legwork. One of the articles that's in the works for the upcoming (and very delayed) issue of the magazine is about the top pitchers in the country. We need YOUR input on who the best arms are in your league. The best way to do this is to email us at wifflersdigest@gmail.com and give us the name of the person, their 2011 stats (career stats would be nice too), a picture of them, and a little background information. This article will be featuring pitchers not only from backyard/recreational leagues in the NWLA but from Golden Stick and Palisades as well. The article will be covering what we feel are the top 20 pitchers in America. It's a difficult task that can be made easier if you cooperate and meet us halfway by sharing who the best pitcher(s) are in your league.

GSWL Announcement... On An Upcoming Announcement?

So it's barely the off-season, a time that most league commissioners or presidents are taking it easy and not thinking about what the next season will bring. But if you're like Lou Levesque and run the largest wiffleball organization in the country - you don't have the luxury of "taking it easy" for about 5 or 6 months like the rest of us. According to a brand new article posted on Golden Stick's website there will be some major changes happening to the GSWL/GSTC format next year. What are the changes? No one outside of the Golden Stick front office knows. What was the point of the article? I can't say for sure. I suppose it's a 'heads up' that some fecal matter could be hitting the metaphorical fan for some of it's players. With great changes comes great dispute. Levesque has the league on "stand by" and to not make any significant decisions about teams and so on because the new format will surely "rock the boat." The front office had "headed discussions" over the changes and it's up to the players to "perfect it" once the new format is released to the public.

However, Levesque says the changes are necessary and that he "won’t stop looking until we [golden stick] see that we’re truly perfect.” In sum, Levesque is striving for perfection in his latest overhaul of the league's format. I find this to be admirable but cannot help but worry that his vision, which has yet to be revealed to the public eye, may be too ambitious. The funny thing about ambition is few people have it and it can serve as a repellant to many. Levesque is a man who is no stranger to constantly 'reinventing the wheel' but it takes hard work and dedication to perform such a task. I guess the real question is can the players in Golden Stick support Levesque's vision? We'll soon find out.
