Just a day before the biggest wiffle championship in all of Addison County and part of Rutland, the defending champion Lagers shocked the wiffling world by trading their entire 2010 line-up (and a case of Miller High Life) for Lonichiro. The lowly Loggers, struggling to sell tickets in their well chronicled Wifftober drought, could no longer afford Lonichiro's hefty contract. Knowing that you could never replace Lonichiro, they tried to get an array of players. The Lagers, left with no players after the trade, used the High Life to coax the Ghost of Guapo, J-Mac, and Lucky Charms out of retirement. They added the rookie phenom "The Beebs" to round-out the line-up on the cheap.Read more

In Vermont autumn means two things, peak foliage and peak wiffle. After suffering through the traditional mid season slump of action, LowBall fans were treated to a classic Sunday morning battle. The game pitted the Black Sox (Lagers) of Lonichiro, Black Cloud, and Tremendous against the Other Sox (Loggers) of J-Mac, Chin Music, and the Plastic Surgeon.

After a massive June, the collective lungs of LowBall have contracted leaving only the true diehards to do battle on the fields of wiffle. Long assumed to be days of inferior play, something odd has happened over the last few weeks. Instead of whimpering at the reduced attendance, a dedicated few have embraced the chaos and some of the best wiffle witnessed in years has emerged. These few are said to be living that wiffle lifestyle, a way of the weekend that pays homage to the early days of baseball. These players stumble from the high hills of Lincoln to the lowlands of Burnham, seeking out the great battle, surviving by the bat and the ball, resting only when a game does not present itself.Read more

Every year LowBall fans are treated to a handful of milestone games, celebrations that rev up the ridiculous. Wifflers eagerly circle the dates for Wiffmorial, Wiffdependence, the Midsummer's Classic, and of course Wifftober at least a few days early.Read more

The year may go down in history as the Lost Season of LowBall, but the conclusion was an unforgettable, jawdropping masterpiece. For those that had written the league off as dead, it was a loud and clear message that the heart of LowBall beats strongly and defiantly. Despite a chopped down 9 inning set and the noticeable absence of J-Mac and El Guapo, LowBall fans were treated to pure wiffle bliss.Read more

Once again, the world of Lowball has been rocked by new blood. Rising Wood, a ragtag trio of Connecticutians (aka the Moriarty triplets), took on the cagey veterans J-Mac, the Ox, and the reigning ROY Lucky Charms, collectively known as the Fell-O-Bunchers, in the first round of the MSC.

The game was an impressive display of power as the young Waste Haveners brought their laser show to the Friendly Confines. The FOB's found no answer on the mound; the ball couldn't near the zone without finding its way across the avenue previously known as Hugo Chavez Way.Read more

The Mid-Summer Classic happened. That much can be said with confidence. Whether it happened in style, or is likely ever to happen again is debatable. The "drama" surrounding this event was largely manufactured by a small contingent of wifflers who see the value in the ridiculousness of creating drama around a child's game being played by grown men. When the pretend drama becomes real drama it becomes, well... ridiculous.Read more

"It's not the destination, but the journey that counts"

Often in wiffle the story is not told by a final tally of runs but instead by what happens on the field. You could easily look at the score of this one and overlook the significance of the details.

After a week of drama, everyone was ready to play some plastic. The teams arrived at GapBridge to face off for the opportunity to play in the final game. The visiting Team Black Cloud was headed up by only two players, Black Cloud and Lonichiro. They were facing off against the home field Loggers featuring Tremendous Thompson, Chin Music, and West Coast.Read more
