WIFFLE ball has officially been inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame… and in our opinion, it’s about damn time!
Below you can watch the full, 13 minute, induction ceremony…

The Washington Wizards played WIFFLE ball to warm up for practice last Tuesday while they were out in Los Angeles.
The Wizards aren’t the first professional team in DC to be linked to WIFFLE ball this year either. Back in April, the Nationals told the Capitals they owed them a WIFFLE ball tournament at the Verizon Center and the Capitals agreed!
We’re thinking it’s time to challenge these three teams to a game and see what they got!
About a month ago, Vice Sports released a short documentary for ESPN on the 2016 Golden Stick WIFFLE Ball Yard League National Championship. We wanted to be sure everyone was able to catch this awesome 12 minute video. It sure got us pumped up for the 2018 season! LFG!
WIFFLE ball is one of 12 finalists with a chance to get into the National Toy Hall of Fame! Only two or three finalists will make it into the hall of fame for 2017. Winners will be announced during a ceremony at The Strong National Museum of Play on Thursday, November 9, at 10:30 a.m.
Make sure to help get the sport we all know and love, WIFFLE ball, inducted into the hall of fame by voting daily at http://www.toyhalloffame.org.
Fast Plastic made its comeback this past weekend and with style, hosting the Fast Plastic Texas Open. Teams traveled from all over the country in hopes to win this national championship! The pictures and videos absolutely made us jealous we weren’t there! Hopefully this is only the beginning for Fast Plastic’s return. We’d sure love to compete in AT LEAST the Texas Open next year.
A huge congratulations goes out to our friends Sean Steffy (aka WIFFLEBoy28), Ed Packer, Kevin Norris, and Tyler Wegrzyn of Cloud9 WIFFLE for taking home the Fast Plastic National Championship!
The full game is posted below for your viewing pleasure… Enjoy!
Lately there have been some viral videos going around about Golden Stick WIFFLE Ball, which just so happens to be the league that we’ve been playing in since 2010. In a video released by Cheddar, just this past Friday, Way Too Beautiful‘s own Adam Milsted and Ian Crosby make a couple short appearances. The clips they’re in are from the 2011 Yard Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada and the 2013 Fast Pitch Open in Savannah, Georgia.
All in all, this is just another step towards getting WIFFLE on the map! Keep up the good work GSWL. The more viral videos, the better for the sport!
We’ve posted the video below… enjoy!
It’s that time of year again! The WIFFLE Fall Classic is back for its 5th annual tournament. By far, one of our favorite tournaments of the year! It looks to be another day of great weather and wiffs. This year the WIFFLE Fall Classic is raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in the fight against pediatric cancer. You aren’t going to want to miss it!

It’s been a while since we sent out a blog post… mostly because this summer has been busier than normal. So we apologize about that, but to get back into the swing of things, we wanted to share with you this HILARIOUS skit that Jimmy Kimmel Live! aired a couple months ago. The skit is called Crab Claw WIFFLE Ball and boy did it have us laughing our asses off! Check it out below.
The WIFFLE ball segment begins at 2:07… Enjoy!!
The 2017 NFL draft is taking place in Philadelphia this weekend. In honor of this, we thought it was necessary for everyone to remember the time that 2015 first round pick, Jameis Winston, played WIFFLE ball against Cooper Manning… enjoy!
As some of you may know, the annual Comic-Con International: San Diego was held this past weekend. This is the biggest comic con in the world. The cast of AMC’s The Walking Dead was there promoting their upcoming Season 7. If you are a fan of The Walking Dead and are caught up on all of the episodes, you know that the last episode of Season 6 ended with one of the main characters getting pummeled with Lucille (Lucille is a baseball bat covered in barbed wire that Negan [the current villain of the show] uses as his primary weapon). The Walking Dead left all of us wondering which of the main characters got hit. Well, with Lucille being one of the primary focuses during this gap between seasons, Entertainment Weekly did an awesome photo shoot with the cast of The Walking Dead holding bats… WIFFLE ball bats! Love the way that these turned out! Although we do have one question for Mr. Lincoln, what kind of a grip is that!?
Make sure you tune in to AMC on Sunday, October 23rd at 9pm (est) to catch the premiere of Season 7!
