No one will argue that 2020 has been an effed up year. One of the small silver linings was that we were able to complete another season of wiffleball in Kalamazoo. I was surprised how recharged I felt by walking on the fields at the Oshtemo Parks and how a small amount of normalcy helped with all the craziness.
Our setup for the 15th season of the KWL was not how we originally planned it but we are extremely grateful to our players, fans, and sponsors helping ensure wiffleball was played in 2020. We lost close friends, we made some new ones, and we almost won a national championship.
Thank you so much to Oshtemo Township, Hogan Insurance, Advia Credit Union, Jac's Cekola's Pizza, and National WIFFLE. Without these amazing organizations we wouldn't have been able to enjoy socially distant smiles, cheers, strikeouts, and homeruns.
As is tradition, and a pandemic can't take it away, here is the ballot for our end of year award voting. This year we've added team categories to go along with our individual player categories. Voting will remain open through December 24th. Starting on Christmas Day we'll announce a couple winners each day with MVP and Cy Wiffle being announced on January 1st.
So, on behalf of the KWL League Officials (David Ayres & Justin Gregory), please cast a vote and raise a glass to celebrate the end of 2020.
With Warmest Wiffle Regards,
Brian Lewis
