Nice field. But you need to take advantage of all that space. So, use a solid plastic ball -- no holes -- and that would allow you to move the fences back about 50 feet, thus creating for you a bigger park, and more doubles and triples. The solid ball will carry much further, thus increasing the offensive potential in those games. Junk holey balls. Go solid, young man.

@huskyjerk It's wiffleball. We're the number 1 wiffle league in the country and it's kind of what we built our reputation on. Take away the holey balls and it's a different game altogether.

i was expecting at least 100 wiffle hater comments...

Lol, the one dislike was me, I kinda regret doing tht now.......

@AAMartins26 And nowhere in the rule does it state that you have to establish position. The only determining factor, again according to an MLB umpire, is whether possession was maintained.

@AAMartins26 @AAMartins26 I'm not sure if you've seen our story, but we actually had a major league umpire rule this call for us. You can google Kalamazoo Wiffleball and read any of the dozens of links about it.

He clearly had possession at the top of his leap, and there were people behind the fence to vouch that he kept possession. So we're going to just go ahead and take the opinion of a 12 year professional over the opinion of a youtube commenter. Thanks.

@kzoowiffle The key phrase in rule 7.04 is "after having made a legal catch". Now I highly doubt that is a legal catch considering he never established possession of the ball in fair ground. If you believe what you are saying is true *hypothetical of course* that means I can establish a two man out field with my third outfielder in the stands, and if he so happens to catch a home run than that also is an out!? The rule clearly says "after" a "legal catch" so it has to be a home run.

@kzoowiffle Ok....sounds good. If you are #1 then run with that ! Don't change.

@AAMartins26 It's not considered a home run, it's an out. : Rule 7.04 If a fielder, after having made a legal catch, should fall into a stand or into the dugout or any other out-of-play area while in possession of the ball after making a legal catch, or fall while in the dugout after making a legal catch, the ball is dead and each runner shall advance one base, without liability to be put out, from his last legally touched base at the time the fielder fell into, or in, such out-of-play area.
