Strange request

[Canalman]

I am looking for a few old style wiffle ball bats. The new ones are way too flimsy. I need the ones that are made of hard plastic and have the word "wiffle Ball" or "wiffle" or "wiffle bat" stamped on the barrel in all caps like this... W I F F L E B A L L. Will trade plugs or cash.

u serious?

[missing link]

ebay?

[Canalman]

ummm.... yeah

I play in a lot of wiffleball tournaments. You have to be a tad insane but if the shoe fits. We've been nationally ranked twice 5th and 11th. I lost my last "old school" wiffle ball bat this year and I need a new crop. So yea I'm serious

[Canalman]

already checked ebay. Just look in your garages and sheds I bet more of you have them than you think. They are not more than 10 or 15 years old.

[reelecstasy]

I'll look, i have had a few for years so maybe so....I'll let cha know

[Canalman]

Sorry to highjack your thread here, but growing up in the city I played a lot of half ball. You would paint the strike zone on the school wall. Then you would take a pimple ball and cut it half (anybogy remember pimple balls?) Your bat was a half a broomstick and it was THE after school game 40 some odd years ago..........

Ah the smell of a new pink ball. Not many new ones around then as they cost 25 cents

Anybody wth a new Mc Gregor hard ball was king of the neighborhood for the year


Then after the cover got knocked off we would tape it with the old cloth electric tape and use it the next year.

LIfe was good.

Canalman,

Is this the one you're looking for?

If you search amazon, there is also a case of them with the balls for around $35.

Check out an old flea market and pass the word that your looking for a bat. They may not have one there now, but maybe at their storage places.

I have 2 bats of that type!!!
They are marked "Official wiffle ball bat" and under that they read
"made in the USA"!!! One has never been used and one is used!!!
Also, one has a rounded end while the other has a square end!!!

PartsJay - I play on the Lawn Boys, we've placed in a few NEWA, WiffleUP and WTF tourneys as well as many others. I'd love to get a game in sometime

Bob Thomas - Those are the new ones, wayyyy too flimsy.

BassBabe - If you have it still, I will take it in trade.

Riverrat - Same Thing.... I'll take them just tell me what you want in return.

Anyone else who finds one same deal

Thanks guys,
-Dave
