Taking wiffle ball seriously

OSHTEMO TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - June 23, 2009

But his game is wiffle ball.

He says when people see his team play, they know wiffle ball isn't just for kids.

Burnell is a member of the Flyin' Wildebeest, one of 14 teams in Michigan's Kalamazoo Wiffle League.

The league started with four friends in a backyard game in 2006.

Since then the KWL has gotten serious, in a playful way.

The Kalamazoo Gazette reports the wiffle league now has an All-Star game, playoffs, league photographer and an unbelievably detailed Web site.
