W(h)iffle Ball Minus One

Many of you fans are no doubt familiar with the the series "Music Minus
One" in which recorded music (pop, jazz, classical) is tracked without
one of the accompanying instruments. Thus allowing the aspiring
drummer, guitarist, cellist, etc. to play along with the recording as if
they themselves were the missing musician. It's not just amazing and
fun, but it's educational too! Now, I bet you're asking yourselves,
"hey Glen, what does this have to do with W(h)iffle Ball"? Good
question Mr. and Mrs. Fan. Prepare to be blown away by the answer!
Here at the Commissioner's office we get a lot of questions about
statistics, rules, weekly highlights, etc. And often, a fan will
inquire into a player's whereabouts, as in, "where's that wily Eric
Zamonski these days"? Or, "Boy, I haven't seen Chris Anderson in a dog's
life". One of the most repeated questions, week after week, month after
month, is "What's up with that Dave Bush"? Well fans, ask no more. You
probably thought Dave was wiling away the hours over at Starbucks
trading derivatives and orchestrating stock swaps, or something like
that. And you, like us, would have been wrong. Dave has been secretly
developing a brand new product, just about to hit the market, called
"W(h)iffle Ball Minus One". It's based on the Music series, but
instead of erasing a single instrumental track, it eliminates an entire
W(h)iffle Ball player. It turns out that Dave hasn't really missed the
last 75 games. He's just been test marketing the new product.
Congratulations, Dave. It works! And I know I speak for the entire
league when I say "job well done".
