Aloha Wiffle Ball Friday
The wiffle ball was invented by
David N. Mullany at his home in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1953 when
he designed a ball that curved easily for his 12-year-old son.
It was named when his son and his friends would refer to a strikeout as a "whiff".
The Wiffle Ball is about the same size as a regulation baseball,
but is hollow, lightweight, of resilient plastic, and no more
than 1⁄8 inch (3.2 mm)
thick. One half is perforated with eight
.75-inch
(19 mm) oblong holes; the
other half is non-perforated. (See also: "Batter
