Whiffle Ball Equipment

Has anyone seen any whiffle ball bats and/or balls at sports stores in Munich? I'd love to get some to play this summer. If you don't know what whiffle ball is, check out the pictures below:

Nope.. still dunno what it is! But I presume it involves hitting a ball with a bat..

It's like a backyard/cookout version of baseball, usually with no running involved. Just pitching and hitting, then the game goes by how far you hit the ball. And it's so much fun to pitch because you can make the ball do some crazy stuff (sharp curveballs and risers!) Very relaxing and fun game!

I don't know of a place to get one here. But even better we have a 16" softball and bats if you want to play this summer. 16" means that nobody needs a glove so an easy pick-up game.

Oh! I thought this thread was about strange sexual practises.

Sorry. Back to whifflin' yer balls

@persimmon: Sounds excellent!

@Sin: Would you like a whiff too?

Nah! I'm more a feline stroker than a ball whiffler.

Ask grtho

sounds like rounders.

rounders is a game for little girls in Britain.

softball is fun, used to play with work back in Birmingham
have you got a league going, persimmon?

*sorry for the thread mini-hijack, BSF*

Are you calling Chicagoans little girls? I'll take that back, no reason to risk getting you upset and wacking me in the head again.

btw you should try it, much better than touch.

I think it's a full-fledged hijack by now

@Topsy no, we just played in chicago so still have the gear. would love to play, but am not much of an organizer. so if someone want to organize, i'll come.

Whiffle ball?!?!

The letters are in a sequence that looks like words, but it just cannot be. Whiffle?!?

I'll presume its some stupid fucking american thing.

You're damn right!

Yep. I suppose it is a bit like those plastic golf balls with holes in it. You can whack the hell out of the ball and it goes about 5 yards..

Maybe for you girlie men

Well it would be more of an American sport then wouldn't it. You would not have to drive as far in your golf carts...

Golf? Scotland.

I loved wiffle ball in my youth. Then came baseball, and then 8 years of sunday softball in the English Garden. They use to meet around 1:00, start play around 2:00 and play until it was dark, or we were all too hammerd. It right near the China Tower (handy for yet anoth beer after the game) Any present players also TTers?

I played many whiffle ball games in the past. There are even adult leagues in the states. We should try to find this equipment and have a go in the English Gardens. I can have someone bring one over!
