NR Wiffle at the Baseball Hall of Fame

The North Ridge Wiffleball Association goes to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. NRWBA President Dr. Kevin Bixby presented the Hall with an official game used 2006 Wiffle Ball. Hall officials immediately placed the artifact over the locker of famed Yankee slugger Lou Gehrig. President Bixby (pictured above) was also asked to discuss the importance of Wiffle Ball in North America. A crowd of 47 attended the discussion which also included a question and answer session.
"We are pleased the ball will be on display thru December 8th at the Hall. Of course, we expected it to be displayed with or around Babe Ruth artifacts, but Lou Gehrig is certainly special for us. This really puts North Ridge Wiffle Ball on the map," according to Bixby
NRWBA records indicate this ball was used in numerous events, including:

1. Chris Morrow singled to right with this ball, breaking a 0-13 streak
   
2. Rafael record setting homerun distance ball
3. Believed to be the ball from the infamous "Cat Fight"
   
4. Skyler hit his 4th homer in a game with this ball

The Hall is slated to send the ball back by special courier so it will be present for any neighborhood events on or about Decemeber 9th. The Ball will be returned to the Hall on December 11th.
