Childhood friends team up in 'Ridley Park Wiffle Ball League'

2024-09-07

A group of friends started playing wiffle ball in middle school, and then created an official league to bring them back together year after year.

Now, 'Ridley Park Wiffle Ball League' hosts official games and a tournament from April/May to August of each year.

The friends stick together in the form of a group chat, and will next start preparing for the 2025 season.

It will be their 10th in league history.

To learn more about Ridley Park Wiffle Ball League, watch the video above and visit their website.

Local baseball fanatics gear up several times per year to relive the "old" ball game in the Greater Philadelphia Area.

My family played wiffle ball at 309 Purcell street until my Mom dropped dead at 49, in 1992. We played since the 1960’s and 70’s and 80’s! We’d kick all of your wiffle butts😗😃😃😃
