Nick was lucky enough to receive some pretty sweet boxers for Christmas. Notice the variety of wiffle images…beautiful. Now, not only does Nick have wiffle in his heart…he has wiffle in his pants.

The circus is coming to town in 2010 !!!
This kid just topped Rob Hoffman…provided his gun is calibrated properly.
“Throwing a wiffle ball 99 mph from the wind-up and 102 off a crow-hop!!”
Jon Anderson of the Phenoms dropped by the Big League Wiffle Ball Lounge with a little souvenir in hand to chat about everything wiffle. And get this… Nick Benas and Jared Verrillo sponsored Jon to go play wiffle in Vegas! Now I’m asking where my sponsorship is - I wanna go to Vegas too 
Check out what Jon had to say about Vegas, NCT, and who he’s looking forward to playing in Vegas!

Lindsay Clubine and Katie Cleary continue their Follow Me To Bliss roadtrip adventure across New England in the 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid. Their second stop is Laconia, New Hampshire at beautiful Weirs Beach to hang with Jared Verrillo and Nick Benas of Big League Wiffle Ball.
Just shy of two years ago, Jared and I had met with Michael Hermann and Perrie Brisken of Wicked Cow Entertainment, at their office headquartered in New York City. WCE is a licensing and branding agency that represents the likes of Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie Smalls and Porn Star Jenna Jameson.
Jared and I were excited to see the vision WCE had for the Wiffle Brand. Michael and Perrie are amazing individuals with a keen eye for the aesthetic. Since 2007, we kept in touch with WCE, providing vast amounts of knowledge, time and energy to help them understand the brand and culture. This was done on good faith. We even introduced them to Former New York Yankee All-Star, Jim Bouton… who’s the inventor of Big League Chew Gum and author of the famous book Ball Four. Jim is now one of Wicked’s clients.
Now fast forward to last week, 10SEP09 and WCE was requesting that Jared and I do an interview for a book Michael was writing on Wiffle. Many others in the community were contacted to help provide content for this project as well. To this date WCE has only produced a silk-screen bat and ball combo for the MLB All-Star Festivities, not very impressive but it’s a great start after having Wiffle, Inc. on retainer for 3 years.
Long story short, Jared and I politely declined their invitation for the book interview. Attached below is the voicemail response from Michael Hermann the following morning.
Despite the threatening nature of this voicemail… we are extremely flattered! To have someone this upset could only mean one thing, we are true pioneers of the game and true to the brand.
The David Mullany Story ended in 1953 when the Wiffle Ball was invented. Mike Alessie of WiffleUp!, Billy Owens/Bruce Chrystie of Fastplastic, Mike Palinczar, New Jersey Wiffle Ball, Adam Trotta the Captain of Doom, Brett Bevelacqua of HMP Films, Lou Levesque of GSWL the players and enthusiasts I did not list and yours truly… Nick Benas and Jared Verrillo of Big League Wiffle Ball…We Own The Culture.
