A New Beginning/Big-Inning

The Greatest Generation of Wifflers

In a March 21, 2008 wiffle ball email chain, legend John L. (Pops) sent out the following request in reaction to a portrait of the then current wiffle ball regulars, that was making its way across the internet:


"This is neat to see. I would like to know who each of these players are. I of course recognize the Barker and the Moyes, but am interested in the others. In fact, could each of them send an email to every address here and tell us about them. I don't want to feel completely severed from this young generations of wifflers, now that I am 11 years removed. Commissioner D Barker, can you make this happen?"

YES WE CAN.

18 months removed, Commissioner D. Barker is "makin' it happen." Over the next several weeks it is my intent to be a guest writer on this blog in order to give the heroes pictured to the left the recognition they deserve. I am honored to call each of these gentlemen a brother, and propose that they all be welcomed with open arms into the Gil Tyree Association of Retired Veterans.
