We would wrap the bat and ball in duct tape! Better welts… and good times!

When I was in college I worked at a WalMart type mass retailer. One of our favorite time-wasters was opening up a wiffle ball and bat from the retail floor and having games in the stock room.

It was a one-on-one game, home-run-derby-type game. You got three pitches to either hit a home run (into the loft of the stock room) or strike out. After three outs, batter and pitcher switched.

Funnest money I ever earned.

wiffle ball is one of the greatest inventions of the old century. It would float, it didn't hurt…much, it went in crazy directions and it was cheap. A “greatest generation” idea equal to the hoola hoop!

I'm 27 and we still play at least once a year. It's during a large gathering on either Memorial Day or the 4th of July.

Ahhhh, the good ole days. Back when I was a kid, being in a wheelchair, I was the rubber arm of the neighborhood as designated pitcher. Although we played with a plastic ball and bat, it was every bit as much fun as wiffle ball. We had the perfect fenced-in backyard. If you could hit the house on the fly, it was a helluva poke!
