Do you guys have any pictures of the field at diggles?
Im just curious to see what it looks like, and if kenny and the diggles are going to get left handed revenge for all those years of balls caught in the tree.

No pictures yet but I can explain it a bit. First lefties no longer have a tree in their way...they have a HOUSE. We are playing towards Aaron's house and the house is in left field. Now it is a much shorter distance than leftfield so there will be quite a few balls hit off the house (it's a realllly tall house) so that is one advantage for the lefties. If they hit it over the house it'll be a HR (and I'm confident Kenny, Aaron, Eric, will occasionally hit it over).
Left field is much further out which will make it tough for righties. A popup that may have been a HR last year or even hit off the fence/pool/whatever is now fair game to be caught by the outfielders. There is alottt more space for outfielders to make plays (no tree, pool, shed, etc) It's tough to say who has the advantage right now (lefty or righties) because I think it'll be harder to hit it over the house than to hit it over the left field fence. However I think there will be much more pop ups by righties than lefties due to lefties being able to use the house as a wall.

can you catch the ball off the roof of the house in right field?

what we are thinking is, if the ball goes on the roof it's going to take awhile to fall off, SO the base runner can probably run all the way around the bases for a HR before it even comes back down. We're thinking that if the ball is caught, then its a ground rule double MAX. if it is not caught, the runner can keep running until the ball is played. It would make it very exciting to catch the ball off the house. It can't be an out because that's just not fair. It'd be like catching the ball of the green monster.
we need to try this rule out in pickup games because the only game we played none went on the roof (it's a pretty good distance and very high up) but i think it'd be exciting

convince him! we're all trying
if jrich is playing, if youre coming back from boston, if keller comes from where ever keller lives, kenwood can spare 45 min a week from studying to come play wiffle ball! he won't have the pressure of being a GM and he can come and prove us he's a great wiffle ball player. plus then the draft would be full of studs like him, jrich, kyle lindsay, a.diggle, duguay, etc etc deepest draft in wiffle history
