Erie whiffleballers play 24-hour game…
Posted on August 27th, 2008 by Mike under UncategorizedI’ve been slacking on here, but this aught to redeem myself at least a little…
ALBION — No one struck out when it came to playing a marathon whiffle-ball game over the weekend for charity and a scholarship fund…They recorded the marathon on tape. It began at 7 p.m. Friday and ended at about 7 p.m. Saturday. (Whiffle-ball game for charity lasts 24 hours, sets record – Erie Times-News)
I think these stats speak for themselves…
- Final Score: 935 – 514, the game ended in the top of the 149th inning (there was no need for the home team to bat in the bottom half…with a 421 run lead)
- According to one of the player’s wives, some players hit 150 to 200 home runs (with a 64-foot fence, she’s probably not exaggerating that bad)
The players raised $1500 for charity, and (surprise, surprise) they could find themselves in the Guinness Book of World Records.
