“Announcements for 2011 tournaments have already begun. That’s right, WIFFLE ball season is less than 2 months away! Here’s something to help you transition out of winter mode – a look back at what went down in 2010.”
2010-Events List & Medium Pitch Wiffle Ball Tournament Results
Here’s an old WiffleUp! flyer that we found in high school. It was posted on a corkboard outside the guys locker room….13 years ago. Junior year. 
We played in the New Haven tournament that year…behind Yale Field. It was a beautiful day…until the wiffle started. I don’t think anyone on our team even got a hit…never mind scored a run or won a game. 
That day was a real eye-opener as to what competitive wiffle ball was all about. We were the best of the best in neighborhood games…yet the worst of the worst against people who came out for the competitive circuit…playing for $$$ was a whole new ballgame. One team that we got crushed by was “In the Box”, captained by Tom Locascio.
We entered the tourney under the team name “First ta Fight”. This was the farm team that eventually became “Boondock Saints”.
The rumor coming out of Wiffle-Up Hopkinton was that the veteran squad, Yo Ho HO and a Bottle of Rum called for the radar gun to detect illegal pitch speed in the playoffs.
In this age of selfish competition and win-at-all-costs mentality, it showed incredible sportsmanship for the members of Yo Ho to finally step up themselves to stop Russ, their own pitcher, from throwing so freaking hard. Having heard the complaints that have mounted over the years, Yo Ho Ho stood up and did the right thing, caring more about the integrity of the game than the outcome. In so doing, their chances at the sportsmanship award have increased almost as much as Russ’ ERA now that he has to throw 38 MPH.
