National WIFFLE®

Short little Christmas Juice for the holidays. Tomkins, Irwin, Tom G and Davey make up the panel on this one. They ask for a wiffle gift and also give one away. They also make a BOLD prediction for 2021 and talk about their highlight of 2020. Merry Wiffmas!

We've got a big time team announcement, folks! Since we're balls deep in the offseason we need to find something to talk about and, of course, new forming/merging teams (for UWIFF, MAW, and more) will be a big one. Let's kick things off with the High Rollers. We'll hear from Havs and first time guest Mike Tuohy, let's see if these two young guns can get themselves a ship next year!

The Documentary, 'Winning a Wiffle Ball National Championship' by Luke "Mippey5" Thompson, is an incredible piece detailing the 2020 NWLA Tournament run by the HRL Dong Show. Carl watched the entire thing tonight and decided to talk a little bit about it. He even added some inspirational background music to pull some heartstrings.

The second edition of 'The Wiffle People We Meet', is on Cameron Smith, the stud pitcher out of the St. Louis Area. Cameron made a big name for himself helping lead the Midwest Monstars to 7th place in UWiffs this year. Cameron was sent some questions and he sent back answers, so Carl reads it all and gives some input. 

Trent Steffes hosts a special pre-season edition of Holey Commutes interviewing the new commissioner of the legendary HRL: Twin Cities in Minnesota, Dan Duehn aka Huck Finn.

A juicy panel of Jacob Davey, Justin Tomkins, Danny Haverty and Brice Clark went above and beyond on this show, by rating 52 leagues that were active in 2020. They used four categories (National Recognition, Website/Social, Talent, Rules/Format/Field), with a max score of 20, to determine the seeding for a twitter tournament. A long show, so we won't be offended if you skip around to find your league. Twitter tourney bracket will be up Wednesday.

Nothing better than a good ol' history lesson, especially when it's one on pitching. Toast and I sit down with wiff legend Pat Leahy to talk about the evolution of pitching in wiffs, his favorite memories, and that time I threw the greatest pitch of all time. He doesn't remember it, but taking a pitch like that will wipe your memory MIB style, I promise.

Carl talks about some of the latest happenings in the sport, the HRL Biscuits folding, having a team already sign up for UWiffs and gives his top five wiffle animal names.

Carl busts out the Wiffle League Wheel of Wonder for the first time, and it lands on Ridley Park. One of the most exciting and competitive leagues in the country!

Whereas last week we spend time with young hotguys, this week we're going for the biggest, burliest, beardguys that the game has to offer. Also, Stein may or may not be done, we'll see. It's time for a quick history lesson followed by some very tremendous man on man action!
