Over the past 10 years we have played and seen many of the top players from around the country. Below is a list compiled by us of players we feel should be in Wiffle's Hall of Fame. Over the past 2 yrs we have been working on various formats of how to acknowledge the great players that have played wiffle. We have come up with what we think is a solid format and will be talking to various people in the wiffle world to help solidify the legitamacy and idea of the format.
The Players/People listed below must have played in a Fast Pitch league or tournament or have made a major contribution to the game of wiffle (FP, Wiffle-UP,SS,GSWL)
Players must meet all or some of these Criteria Below
Must have Played at least 8 years
Must be 30 Years of age
Exceptional or Impact player less then 8 years due to injury or retired.
List of players in no particular order. This list is not official and is/was a starting point in trying develop some criteria. If all goes well, the ideas we came up with will hopefully be the framework for an offical wiffle hall of fame.
