World Series Champs Crowned!
The team of Johnson, Frantz and McKelvie brought the WWL World Series trophy home to Sterling! Coming back from a 2-1 deficit, the trio willed their way into the record books as the first and only team to come back from a 2-1 deficit to win a best of 7 series. Strong pitching, athletic fielding and clutch hitting brought this team back from the bowels of Cliffside to the peak of nirvana. WSPN is still airing Johnson's over the fence grab of Jake Mckelvie's attempt to walk off with the win in game 5. Johnson's skin from his palm was grafted off and frozen and is to be placed on display at the Wiffleball Hall Of Fame. The WWL WS MVP was a close choice with Johnson getting the nod with his grab in game 5. Frantz and Mckelvie were as worthy with Frantz & Mckelvie both blasting 4 HR's each, Frantz pitching 19 strong innings and Mckelvie having a series best .571 OBP. Glenn, Jake and Pat have vowed revenge next year. "I hate Jeff, I hate Jeff, I hate Jeff, I hate Jeff, I hate Jeff, I hate Jeff, I hate Jeff...." Jake was quoted after the game as he lay in a fetal position in his locker. "I plan to start training immediately in my private gym up in NH." Pat stated after the game. "25 lb curls followed by 12 oz curls..." Glenn sped away in his Hummer shortly after the series ended and could not be reached for comment. Spring training can't come soon enough for this reporter. Write up for the series will be submitted shortly. Don't be getting all your panties in a bunch...

Awards Are In!!
The weekend we have been waiting for all year was upon us on an overcast Sunday afternoon. Prior to the Opening Ceremonies, the 2007 WWL Awards were handed out as shown below.Johnson, taking home the MVP & Cy Young, presented by his nephew, Josh Mckelvie ( pictured ). Johnson gave a heart wrenching 10 minute speech in which he thanked Jesus and his record producers. Voting was close in all categories in which most people thought that there were no clear cut winners. As the awards were read there were a mix of boos and cheers. The Kush Kommittee, which resides in the bleachers in left, couldn't believe that Kush did not get the Cy Young Award. "That hippy sandal wearing freak isn't even in the same league as KUSH!" said John Popper who was the giant "K" in KUSH. In right, Mingo's Minions made the most noise. "We were all holding our sandals and praying to the Wiffle gods as the awards were read." Gregg Frantz takes home his third straight Defensive Player of The Year Award for his total disregard of bodily harm and keeping blood in his circulatory system. Alec "Sweet Meat" Goodale took home the ROY Award by default. He was not at the stadium to receive his award as he is pursuing his adult film acting career.

WORLD SERIES SET!!!
After a disappointing month of wiffleball that saw almost as many games cancelled as games played, came word that the rosters were set for the 3rd WWL World Series. This years matchup will be The Tent Pitchers - Gregg Frantz, Josh McKelvie and Jeff Johnson facing The Nipple Liquors - Glenn, Jake McKelvie & Patrick Leonard. Vegas odds were all over the place after this announcement. At the time of this article they are almost even with the Liqours ahead by a half point. Word out of the TP camp is that Josh McKelvie will not be part of the rotation forcing Johnson and Frantz into a tough situation. We have never seen this before, only 2 starting picthers? The excitement is mounting as the series nears. Early numbers indicate there is projected to be 3.5 million glued to the TV screen on Sunday afternoon as the best of 7 series comes to fruition. 30 sec. commercial spots are costing companies a cool million with Sterling Greenery leading the way reserving 8 spots for the 2 weekend series. Grab your foam finger and a 6-pack, this one promises to be a doozy....

No Action Again For Disgruntled Fans
Another weekend come and gone and the WWL remains in it's dormant state. How is the commissioner keeping the league afloat with all these off weeks? I mean, those cheesyass baseball movies can only carry you so far... Am I wrong...? I am not going to sugar coat this Kevin, the general reaction around the stadium was "not very nice". "Wiffleball is my life. Not being able to come to the games is like.... taking away my birthday..." stated Marty Conlon ( pictured ), self proclaimed #1 fan of the Sterling Sharkbaits ( WHO, HA HA ). Since the WWL was away, I watched some exhilarating action over in the rival RWL where Jeff Johnson was making another appearance. During the night there were some career milestones hit by the Dunn boys, making me wonder where the WWL players stand "ALL TIME". This is something I think all of us were curious about so I figured it would be a great waste of my time to come up with the totals. So here is the breakdown:
Home Runs:
Runs Batted In:
Hits:
Batting Average:
***All Time Pitching Leaders Thru 8/19/07 ( Minimum 60 Innings )*** Wins:
Strikeouts:
ERA:

Frantz says "Take That, Bruised Balls!"
Frantz took the mound Sunday; 14 days shy of a year since his last win in the WWL. Frantz fighting to remain in the starting rotation needed a good outing to convince the manager that he still had what it took to pitch in the bigs. When all was said and done, Frantz out dueled Josh, to gain his first win of the season. Frantz had a career day at the plate too with 3 dingers and driving in all 6 runs, which ended up chasing Josh from the game.Johnson, his long time teammate, tried to help Frantz reach this plateau he has been striving for all year. After retiring Josh on a strikeout to end the game, Frantz and Johnson ran to each other and embraced ( pictured ). “He was so happy, I tried to tell him that it was gay and it would be all over the news when we did it, but he didn’t care…” Johnson said in a postgame interview. On a semi related note, the World Series teams will be selected by taking the standings below and having all the guys in the blue boxes against the guys in the white boxes. Very technical, I know, but I hope everyone can understand that…

And the seventh day, God said to hit a homer!
Leonard finally did it! Thats right it took half the season and an all-star break to finally end the prolonged homerun drought for Pat. He took Josh deep over the monster in the last game of the night. Congrats Pat and for all you pitchers out there, be careful, because this is one hitter you do not want to heat up in the playoffs.Also in the nite, Gregg finally hit a homer from the left side of the plate, and Glenn continues his dominence on the mound. Jeff struck out Jake for the first time in his career and Josh continues to swing a hot bat!

WWL Locked Out Another Week!
 Another summer weekend came upon us and passed, like gas after eating some broccoli. Cliffside appears to be wearing down quick as everyone has been locked out for the past 2 weekends due to a suspension in play. The commissioner's stop of play again this week took all the players and fans by surprise.

WWL Lockout Goes Another Week!
Another summer weekend came upon us and passed like gas after eating some broccoli. Cliffside appears to be wearing down quick as everyone has been locked out for the past 2 weekends due to a suspension in play. The commissioner's stop of play again this week took all the players and fans by surprise."If he keeps us out much longer we may have to cross the line and play in the RWL..." sobbed Jake McKelvie as he packed up his locker. Some WWL records that we thought were going to be easily broken this year may have to wait till next year as time is running out on the players and their stats. "Don't tell me I've been roi... um, training for nothing!" shouted Josh Mckelvie. Some think the commish is taking this time off just for Frantz's sake. Frantz has had an off year and the commish and Frantz have been seen galavanting together, jetsetting across the Globe, the latest stop in Denver. We asked Glenn if he would ever cross sides: "I've thought about it... If the offer was right I think I would. Playing in 2 leagues can be done. Bo, Deion and Jordan did it... Why not me?" The commissioner could not be reached for comment. Pretty strong words here Mr. Commissioner, what are you going to do...?

Construction Under Way!!
 Here is a rare WWL AP photo that was acquired today showing the advancement in construction of the new stadium. Costner has slated completion of the field before the playoffs and world series. The casting of the giant plastic wiffle ball may set things back a few weeks though. Costner has decided to let the naming of the field up to the fans. There will be a box in every Mr. Mikes in the United States to place your idea for the name of the new field. The winner will get a cameo appearance in the new WWL commercial and also get a gift basket from all the mom & pop shops that were leveled to make way for the new field. Get those creative juices flowing.... Gross....

Welcome to WiffLeague
Welcome to WiffLeague. This is a framework I developed for my wiffle ball league that I hope others can leverage. To start:-Edit Common.pm to reflect the information for your site -If everything appears to be working, click 'Login' on the top bar (use 'commish'/'commish' for username/pass) to start creating players/authors, etc. -If you are feeling extra creative you can edit some of the code to set things up the way you want. I tried to keep most settings in Common.pm, but there are other places where I refer back to specific statistical elements. Since everything is in cleartext, just grep through to find what you are looking for. ENJOY! View Past Headlines |
