  1. The rules are so weird. They only have ghost runners? I think they should play full on baseball rules, have 9 players on the field and run the bases. You should also be able to peg people for outs. Other than that, pretty awesome, I'd love to take some of these turkey's yard.

  2. I think we should spend a weekend, go to home depot and buy everything. Then put it all together and practice pitching these absurd pitches. Apparently the balls are best when they're scuffed up and worn a bit just like regular baseballs in MLB. That official wiffle gear site I linked? They sell new and scuffed "ready to use" balls. What a job that must be huh? Just sitting around scuffing up wiffleballs with sandpaper and pocketknives all day long and then selling them for a profit. All this video watching definitely made me want to go out and play though. We could fiddle around with the rules if we actually tried to play a game. But you know we'd just play home run derby and that's it. Either way, it looks fun.
