Whiffle Ball

It seems as if I have a new favourite team sport: Whiffle Ball

It is a slightly deviated form of Baseball, which is played with a plastic bat and plastic balls on a smaller field etc. Okay, there are quite some changes to the original baseball rules. But it is fun.

I first played it some weeks ago at a friend's kind-of-baseball-game / welcome-back-party / barbecue / sit-together-around-a-fire-bin. Back then, we all thought, that the host would make up the rules. Therefore I was surprised, when I googled Whiffle Ball and I actually found "his" rules.

This time I scored more than one run. Our team's performance would have been even better had they not chosen me as pitcher. I am such a lousy pitcher... First it was kind of okay, but then it was just terrible... Anyway, when the game was called due to heavy rain, we were still in the lead and thus our team won ;-)


The secret of our success: The famous Late Night Training Session for Whiffle Ball



Then the best part started: Stories from 10 years in Africa. I love those stories! And I liked the people who were there. It was a wonderful Saturday.


My absolutely favourite story: Iron Oak and Poo-Poo on a Train in the Mauretanian Desert... Yesterday's version was by far the best ;-)
