2008 Tournament Summary

no-country240.jpg

The 2008 Hume-Donovan Wiffle Ball Tournament was another great success.  And for the first time ever, a complete AND TRUE set of statistics (as far as you know) were kept for every game.  2008 also saw the crowning of another new Champion!  In fact, the 2007 B.W.O.S. participants became the 2008 Champions and Runners-Up.
 
There have been five different Champions of the last five HD Wiffle Ball Tournaments, but up until 2008 none of the previous Champions can claim a worst to first rise to glory.  Enter the Wiffle Ballers.  Once mocked for their youth, inexperience, and homework, the 2008 group formerly known as the "Pioneers" renamed, reorganized and redeemed with authority.  One foot growth spurts in the offseason didn't hurt their cause either.
 
Suddenly the youth are seen as a perenniel threat.  To counter the shift in power, will the aged commanders of opposing teams seek younger recruits for 2009, or will they simply invoke well-timed groundings, chores, and/or age-related rule changes to eliminate the threat altogether.  Time will tell. 
 
A great time was had by all.  To view stats, game summaries, awards, and results, scroll through this page or click on a specific link below.
