This year's Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest title is up for grabs as we have received word that Sean's Sluggers will not be making an appearance. After compiling a 7-1 record last year at Wifflefest and claiming the coveted Wifflefest trophy, they have decided not to defend their crown. Although Sean was not available for comment, other sources confirm that former member Drew Burgess will be getting married the same day as Wifflefest.
If you are up on your Wifflefest history, you may recall the fact that Drew hit the second ever home run at Wifflefest. Let's hope that Drew bring the same intensity and consistent play to the marriage as he does to the wiffle ball field. As for Sean's Sluggers future, it seems to be uncertain. Last year's off season acquisitions Trent and Amanda Forester paid big dividends, in the form of a Wifflefest championship, but rumors are circulating that turmoil has struck the champ's camp. I spoke with Forrester over the summer and was told directly by him, that he was "forming his own team". Wow! It is hard to blame Forester though. After batting .711 for the tournament, scoring a record 16 runs, and pounding 8 home runs, many wonder if "he could win Wifflefest by himself"? We may never know the answer to that question, but you can count on the fact that Trent is getting heavy consideration for being voted Silver Slugger 2007. There is no telling how far he can carry his new team... and no telling how sad it will be without Sean's Sluggers winning this year.
