Darrell Porter not confirmed - 26 days till Wifflefest
Darrell Porter, longtime St. Louis Cardinal and 1982 World Series MVP, has not been confirmed to be attending the Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest. When asked if the catcher who wore glasses would be attending, Wifflefest founder Justin Osborne said "We haven't had any luck in contacting Mr. Porter, and honestly, we haven't even tried to do so." "Now that I think about it, Darrell was always my mom's favorite Cardinal. She said he had good looks." Regrettably, the only star power to be on display this year at Wifflefest, that is confirmed, will be the return of the Kyocera Hot Rollers, whose star slugger Roger Brown still holds his Wifflefest Hall of Fame status close to his heart. "The induction ceremony was really touching, and I received a really nice bronzed photo of myself" said Brown enthusiastically, "Although I had to give the frame back". Brown and Co. are sure to be a force come tourney time.
