A Message from Commissioner Peter Berwald

I want to tell you a story today about a special wiffler. His name is Tim Baker.

This is a picture of me with Tim at a Thursday batting practice.
Tim has just the sweetest right handed swing in the League. Tim holds a career .465 slugging average in Wiffle and Ale Club Play. In 144 at-bats in 2010, he mustered 53 hits, including a homer, and 13 RBI. Tim has an exemplary attendance record at Theory. In short, Tim is the very model of a modern wiffler.

But 2011 is a whole different story for Tim. You see, Tim has … a weekend job. And that means Tim can’t play wiffle ball on Saturday mornings like you and me. Tim can only play on weeknights.

But for Tim to play on a weeknight, he needs you and me to be there for him. We need to come through for Tim. On this Thursday night, we were one wiffler short of the four we needed to play.

One.

ONE F@(&!#G WIFFLER!!!

This June and July, will you be there for Tim? Wednesday Night Wiffle @ Nance Bradds.

  1. I will try to be there for Tim. I may hit him in the ear with the ball, but I'll try to be there for him after the ringing stops.
