TFA: the main source of their success comes from the patented Wiffle Ball.

I thought patents expired after so many years?

OW, MY WIFFLE BALLS!

awww that's happy!

The Sheriffs after me for what I did to his daughter
I did it like this
I did it like that
I did it with a Wiffle Ball bat

The patented yellow bat is also well known for its uses as a lightsaber/sword.

Other than a switch from a wooden bat to the traditional yellow plastic bat in 1972, Wiffle Ball has remained the same product that it was when Mullany's grandfather first started the company.

wouldn't the wooden bat be the traditional one here?

just because the plastic bat is the one you grew up with stupid journalist young punk writer doesn't mean it's traditional.

The minimum security prison puts you on a wiffle ball and chain


Thanks, Steven.

The balls of Dr. Wiffle the former professor of me in the undergraduate education were squeezable. Yes I did make an "A" in this class why do you ask this of me? LAUGHTER OL!

"she could suck a wiffle ball through a mile of garden hose"

Dude, Borat was six years ago. Time for a new schtick.

Also, Whiffle Ball is farking awesome. This article makes me want to go out and buy one.

Well, that's just Charmin.

Nothing about the those stupid 'strike zone bounce back nets'? I was always under the impression they made those too.

Approves of the headline.

Or hug them. Pet them. Or call them George

LAUGHTER OL if you think that in any way or the shape or the form of things that the stick of me is similar to the movie named Borat then you are either the idiot or the idiot as they are not remotely the similar things. However this is the nice attempt at showing the hipness of you. Now go out with the hacking sack and play with that ball also.

The company got its big break when their products started being sold in Woolworth stores. Since then, growth has been mainly organic, mainly.

""There is only so long you can spend indoors, exercising your thumbs," Mullany said. "Kids need to get outside to get fresh air, exercise and enjoy physical activity that you don't get from being indoors."

You hear that Farker? Go outside!

I lived in Shelton 20 years ago.


Very shiatty place now.

I love Wiffle. One of my happiest memories comes from being on vacation in Vermont when I was a little kid, and the hotel power went out for like five hours in the evening. My dad went out to find something for entertaining my sister and me, and he came back with a Wiffle ball and bat. I remember only a couple of other things from that trip fuzzily, but I do remember the hell out of playing outside the hotel on the large round of grass in the driveway loop during twilight, having a grand old time.

I used to drive by the factory all the time when I worked in Shelton.

A co-worker had called there once to see about arranging a tour. The guy on the phone said "Tours? We don't give tours any more, I don't think. We used to.....until the incident...."

He never found out that "The incident" was.

rob deer played against whiffle balls his entire career.

My favorite of the era was Jarts, still got a set, in the box.

Hello yes all is getting to be the better place after the depression upon which was inflicted to me. I am much lighter on the feet and no I do not mean I have lost the weight as I never needed to do this in the first place!

I didn't click on the link, but here's my opinion on wiffle balls.

The old ones were one piece, and you could play baseball with them if you had a wiffle ball bat. The new ones are cheap, made-in-china balls that are actually two separate pieces glued or wedged together, and they split in half after about 1/2 an hour of play.

It's obvious.

That's because kids don't go outside anymore.

FTA: Today, Wiffle Ball employs between 15 and 20 people and still manufactures the bats and balls at the same factory that the company moved into in 1959.

Oh ain't that the truth. When I was a kid, I was always outside playing, either rain or shine

Do ya hear that, boy? That whistling? Takes me back to that fateful day that your uncle Jimmy died. We were outside, and pops had just bought us a brand new wiffle ball and bat, so,being the energetic kids we were, hoping to one day play in the Majors, and show that Robinson kid a thing or two, started a little game of pitch and hit. Well, shortly after we started, Jimmy smacked a nice drive that whistled right by my ear, bouced off of the garage wall, and without any warning, this huge dobermann jumps up and tears jimmy's throat out. Oh my god, there was blood everywhere.

I still can't go near a wiffle ball without smelling blood.

I just learned what a WIffle ball is from rtfa. I always though wiffle balls were those little plastic balls with round holes in them you use to practice golf in small spaces.

One of my best childhood memories is my dad teaching me to throw curve balls and sliders with a Wiffle Ball. I dont remember how to throw any of those pitches anymore, but it was still good father-son bonding time.

This. One time I went the cheapskate route and bought some laundry detergent from a Dollar Store (was about $3, actually) and the damned thing didn't even produce any suds, during the wash

//hot hot hot

In college we were playing Whiffle Ball in the dorm courtyard with the standard plastic bat. Somehow a foul tip managed to punch a perfect round hole into some guy's dorm window. The window didn't crack it just had a perfect hole punched in it.

//have no idea how the physics of how a Whiffle ball can punch a hole in a window off a foul tip work

It wasnt tea, it was 4 Loco

We used to use these plastic golf balls for pitching and batting, still using the yellow Whiffleball bat. You can really wing them and make them dart all over the place, and yet, if you connect with one, you can really hit it far compared to a Whiffle Ball.

My friends and I had a Whiffle Ball field set up.

Craig's parents lived on a cul-de-sac, not at the dead end, but at the side, The house had concrete steep steps leading up to the porch, which made a natural strike zone (batter stands at the bottom of the steps, if the pitch hits between the 1st and 3rd steps, strike). The street was narrow, with a old-timey wood post fence on the other side (think big posts with 2 posts crossing them horizontally). If one was going for the fence, the fielder could climb the fence to try to rob the batter.

FARKING GOOD TIMES.

I was trimming a wild hedge for a friend today, inside I found;
3 Whiffle Balls
1 Tennis Ball
1 Baseball
1 Plastic Ball
1 Rubber Baseball
1 Basketball
1 Bouncy Ball

Her little dog didn't know which one to play with first.

Glad you're back, lean and mean. We know you're not Borat. However, I've always suspected you might be Bjork.

Kevin Mitchell credited wiffle ball as the reason he made the majors.

Actually, that we grew up playing with it is exactly what makes it traditional. You're confusing that with "original".

cig-mkr: My favorite of the era was Jarts, still got a set, in the box.



Flaming Carrot's favorite too!

Wiffle Balls are still high quality if you get the originals. I buy a dozen of the solid softball-sized ones every couple of years (a few winters outside and they go brittle). Best place I've found is The Connecticut Store. $1.55 each.

Depression sucks. I am very glad to hear that you're doing well.
