Owen named MVP

Two on, two outs, down by one, in the top half of the last inning. Needless to say the River Monsters were reeling. The Thundercats were in control of the game, and the prospects of a winner take all, championship game, were looking good. Then, something magical happend. Violet Owen, outfielder and second batter for the River Monsters stepped to bat. She promptly lifted a high fly ball to deep right center field, and with a little help from a southeast wind, deposited an opposite field, three run home run over the fence to lift the River Monsters to victory. After the game she was named, MVP (Most Valuable Philipino), and crowned Wifflefest champion. She will also be on a short list of candidates to be nominated for induction into the Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest Hall of Fame.

River Monsters Swallow Up Wifflefest Title

The River Monsters posted a 6-4 victory in the championship game of the Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest to claim the tournament title over the Thundercats. The River Monsters completed the tournament with a perfect (4-0) record and can now proudly wear golden wiffleballs around their necks... to dislay their accomplishment. They beat out 13 other teams in the one-day double elimination tourament benefitting the Pujols Family Foundation, an organization which is dedicated to raise awareness for children with Down Syndrome.

13 Teams to compete for Wifflefest 5 Crown (really just some golden wiffleballs)

Cross your fingers all you Wifflefest competitors, you will need all the luck you can get. Thirteen teams are confirmed to participate in the Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest 5. That total equals the highest amount of teams to date in the five year history of the glorious wiffling event. Some would think that excitment and anticipation would be filling the halls of the Osborne household, with so many teams ready to fight it out. Those thoughts would be wrong. "I would really rather have 12 or 14 teams", says Justin Osborne, founder, creator and provider of awesomeness of Wifflefest. "I mean, it is October and we have 13 teams coming. Kind of spooky", Osborne explains as he makes a ghoolish laugh. While most of the teams have participated in the past, there is a handful of new comers. Highlighting that group is 'New Team' which is composed of experienced Wiffleballers and some newcomers. Captain Roger Brown is hoping his new found 'secret weapon' will be the trick to treat his team to victory. The Hurricanes, the three time defending champions, will not be present this year, as they would like to give everyone else an opportunity to win. Trent Forester, Hurricane team captain, was spotted pushing a baby stoller while pollishing his three golden wiffleball championships earlier this fall. Apparently, winning isn't everyting. Osborne suggests that teams say there prayers and not dress in costume to avoid fearful encounters on the playing fields. "I don't want any of the teams to get scared, thinking Ol' Scratch may be out to get them or something". With thirteen teams, the competition should be fierce, fun, but could be frightful something Osborne hopes to avoid. "I've already been throwing salt over my shoulder just to be on the safe side."

17 Days to Wifflefest - We're buying some balls

It is really hard to have a wiffleball game, even harder to have a Wifflefest without the appropriate quantity of balls on hand. Today, I am ordering 48 official wiffle balls from the Connecticut Store. The Connecticut Store is the official marketplace for all things wiffle.... bats, books, apparel, and balls.

Our family was able to the store last summer, on a trip to the east coast. Due to a three hour traffic jam in Rhode Island, we made it to the store after closing. We were able to peer into the windows to see the wiffleball making machine as well as a 1/2 complete crossword puzzle. Needless to say, it was the highlight of our trip. 

Real Wiffle Balls Only

The order will be placed in about an hour, and then the wiffle balls will be hand packaged into original wiffle ball boxes. After each ball is packaged individually, they will then be combined into a much larger brown box and shipped to my location. We will then keep them in a humidified chamber to preserve their perfection until Wifflefest, ensuring that each ball will be perfectly perfect in every way.
Like a newborn babe snatched from a mother's womb, so also the Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest's wiffleballs will be handled for the first time, without blemish, at Wifflefest. Past rumors of Justin Osborne actually creating his own wiffleballs with 'magic' are not completely true. This year we will have a pretend ball detector in place for each participant to pass through upon entering the Wifflefest grounds, ensuring that no off-branded ball makes it anywhere close to a field. Wifflefest is a gun free/drug free/fake wiffleball free zone.
