That looks like fun. I haven't played whiffle ball since about 8th grade. We played a lot more stickball though.

There's no arguing balls and strikes! My buddy and I used to play on a tennis court. They really are the perfect size for whiffle ball.

Livin' the dream. I grew up playing wiffle ball. Wish we'd have had video cams then. I had a knuckle drop that was unhittable.

I feel like we need to call in ChadBradfordWannabe to break down the mechanics of some of these guys. I especially want to heard what he thinks of the guy with the big D-Train leg kick 6:00 before the end of the clip

Any equipment past a bat and a ball is too much equipment.

I could have done without the crappy Van Halen song, but otherwise, this was cool.

We never played with that type of ball when we were growing up. We always used the ball with a bunch of round holes. You really couldn't get that type of curve with those balls.

Thanks for the link - I hadn't heard that UD got a verbal from Paul Williams, sweet.

Welcome to Dayton, Paul. Your complimentary gaggle of sluts is waiting for you at Tim's.

Priceless.

I had a pretty nasty screwball. But if we were playing with the red bat, it was over the porch anyway.

I cant throw the screwball-type pitch that these guys do, but I throw that nasty riser/slider thing. Also I have a fastball, curve (breaking ball), knuckleball, and sinker.

no offense, but that is lame.

We played in our front yard with fence behind us. With those balls, we would have had to hop the fence a hell of a lot more often than we already had to. Nobody I knew growing up used the curvy kind of ball.

Crunching the "Pro League" numbers real quick: teams have scored 103 runs in 18 games, or 2.86 R/G (per team). AVG/OBA/SLG: 172/371/391. Oh, and 388 strikeouts, or nearly four times as many K's as hits. Ouch.

Watching all those funny pitches sounds cool, but do you really want to watch low-scoring games with lotsa strikeouts? If I wanted to watch that, I'd time-travel back to 1968...

Once, and only once, I threw a Wiffle Ball pitch that could have made that video. It started out straight at the hitter's forehead and at the last moment broke like crazy right through the middle of the strike zone.

To this day, I still have no clue how I did it. I've never been able to replicate it, or even come close.

Stole my thunder, thought I wanted him to break down the diminutive lefty with the a-frickin-mazing scroogie.

I used to be able to throw a two-story roundhouse curve that would drop behind a righty hitter's neck and clang into the back of whatever lawn furniture was the strike zone.

But the best I ever saw was this good pal who used an Eck-like motion. The ball almost skimmed the grass, then rose as if it would go high out of the strike zone, then broke away slightly from a righty, and finally dipped down at the end to slam into the zone. You can't hit that, and to this day, he won't tell me how he throws it.

Throwing a wiffle ball is about the only thing I'm above average in sports wise. I can throw two curves(one big and looping one quicker with less break), two screw balls (same), a sinker and a knuckleball. Well I haven't played much at all since college so the sink and knuckler probably need work. One of my better backyard sports memories was throwing a big curve well behind my brother's head and still having it hit dead center in the zone.

I have funny arms (place my hand on a table palm down and I can rotate it 360 degrees without picking it up) so not too many throw like I do, though I have seen plenty of pitches thrown different ways that are just as nasty.

Never was able to throw a riser with any consistency though, which is one of the great regrets of my life. Guy in college had an absolutely nasty one.

Oh well... anyone in the Chicago area want to play some wiffle ball?

Love it.
