Free Agent List:

Andrew Maderia

  • Maderia had recently been involved with the Commissioner's office as Justin "Big Tight End" McKenna's agent, lobbying for McKenna's player ranking to rise. Today, April 13, 2006, in a stunning move, Maderia left the business world, ending his relationship with the promising young player. In addition, Maderia filled out the proper paperwork, making himself eligible for the Whiffle ball league.

Maderia's personal statement to anyone looking to sign a free agent: One of Stonington's only pure athletes left, scoop me up and we will ride to an underdog victory and the chapionship. I can hit, field and pitch. By mid-season I will be a leading vote getter for a gold glove. Contact: Andrew Maderia andrewmaderia@hotmail.com

Benjamin Bowne

  • Bowne's personal statement: I would like to officially add myself to the free agent pool for the Whiffle ball league for the 2006 season. I am seeking a league minimum contract and just want to get out there and play in the show. I hear they hit clean white balls in batting practice, and all the women have long legs and brains. My career has been an up and down, with much time spent laboring in the minors. My agent suggested that a stint in the bigs may be the motivation that my career needs to take it to the next level.

  • Floridians Return to Connecticut for Memorial Day Weekend

by Dean Avery

Whiffle Ball Insider

May 21, 2007

On Friday, May 25, 2007 two Floridians and former fixtures in the Connecticut Whiffle Ball scene will return to their old stomping grounds. Indeed, we have Memorial Day and the wedding of Tyler McCabe to thank for the appearance of Rey Menor and Michael Rashleigh in Mystic, Connecticut. However, the question everyone wants to know is: "How will they be recieved by the Mystic faithful?" There is a sense of abandonment amongst their friends, fans and Whiffle Ball competitors, as they have migrated to the warmer climate leaving all behind. A sharp sense of arrogance has been apparent in recent conversations with Rey Menor and Michael Rashleigh, but will their arrogance translate into winning Whiffle Ball. According to Vegas, Team Menor is favored to overcome jet lag and reign victorious by 2 runs. However, according to this insider, the answer will prove to be a resounding NO & Team Avery will pull off the upset. The teams have been set, please look to the following insider article for the results of the Draft and teams, judge for yourself what you feel the result will be.

  • Memorial Day Draft

by Dean Avery

Whiffle Ball Insider

May 21, 2007

Rather than a high-risk lottery system, the first pick in the Draft was decided by a rocks-papers-scissors game. Team Menor was represented by Rey Menor & Team Avery was represented by Dean Avery. In the best of one rocks-papers-scissors game, Dean Avery threw "rock," Rey Menor threw an "a-bomb." Thus, Team Menor was awarded the first selection, and Team Avery will have the first pick in the Supplemental Draft. The results of the draft: 

Round 1: Pick 1 - Daniel "Weaze" Henry
         Pick 2 - Charles Lelek
Round 2: Pick 3 - Michael "Rash" Rashleigh
         Pick 4 - Kyle "Theo" Theodore
Round 3: Pick 5 - Adam Novak
         Pick 6 - Jason Mellow

Team Menor: Menor, Weaze, Rash, Novak
Team Avery: Avery, Lelek, Theo, Mellow

  • Back in Town

by Rey Menor

Whiffle Ball Insider

April 28, 2006

Once a child prodigy, being groomed in a whiffle ball family, Jay “Jimmy Jam/J-Bird” Rashleigh was surrounded by whiffle ball his entire life. With two older brothers constantly pushing him, Jay was destined for greatness. With cat-like instincts in the field and an aggressive approach at the plate, Jay Rashleigh was well respected around the whiffle ball nation. Then like many mysterious sport icons such as Barry Sanders, Ricky Williams and Brian "Big Country" Reeves, Jay Bird walked away from the game. Some say the reason for this was his new found spiritual path, as he searched to connect with and follow his Buddhist religion and beliefs. Others say the burden of expectations of greatness that rested on his shoulders since adolescence was finally too much to handle and forced him to crumble. However, “J-Bird” states he plans to make a triumphant return to the game that he once loved and left. Many witnesses say they have seen him practicing his knuckleball in his suburban home in Fort Lauderdale with the neighborhood children. Maybe the time away from the game is what he needed to take his game to the next level. Only time will tell the fate of the man they call J-Bird.

  • New Park Under Construction

by Jeffrey "The Lost Hero" Parkinson

Whiffle Ball Insider

April 20, 2006

Sources report that there is a stadium under construction in the remote location of Mansfield Center, Connecticut. The architects of the field; Jeffrey Parkinson, Matthew Parkinson, and Benjamin Bowne are promising a state-of-the-art ballpark with many modern amenities that will provide fun for fans of all ages. The park will feature third baseline box seats, upper deck luxury boxes, and a players lounge featuring multiple couches and a surround sound entertainment system. The field promises to be a hitters ballpark for right and left handed hitters alike. There is a short porch in left field at only seventy feet from home plate. However, the left field wall looms tall at over 25 feet. The wall immediately darts out in center to a cavernous ninety feet. The right field wall stands at almost eighty feet from home plate and presents arguably the most difficult part of the park go deep. Similar to Minute Made Park in Houston, Texas and many other modern stadiums; the field features many nooks and crannies that will confuse even the finest fielders in the Whiffle Ball League. This yet to be named stadium is scheduled for completion in May of 2006. Stay tuned for more information to be published on the Whiffle Ball Insider.

  • Tuesday Morning Report from the Commissioner’s Office

transcribed by Dean Avery

April 20, 2006

Commissioner Puddy Giamatti wanted to apologize greatly for the delay in his weekly release to the press. However, Commissioner Giamatti stated over the past week he has had little time, as he has been caught up in his studies, and reveling in the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ over this Easter weekend. Thus, from his meditation cushion he simply wished to offer the Whiffle Ball Nation a poem:

Oh Whiffle Ball League two-thousand and six,
all the friends and great whiffleballers are in the mix.
As the sun rises everyday,
all I wish to do is watch the talented whiffleballers play.
Visions of Whiffle balls dance in my head,
I will love this game until I’m dead.
My vision of the league was once a far-off dream,
now Doug & Dean embody the greatest team.
Controversy surrounds the use of nanners,
but the real question is, who will host the 2006 championship banner?
Pod Park is a stadium for the ages,
including a players lounge, all it needs is batting cages.
Lelek Stadium is now undergoing extensive renovations,
soon it will be another one of Whiffle Ball’s wonderful creations.
What will the summer of 2006 bring?
A home run king,
Curve balls on a string,
To the champions a ring,
and some bling.
To be sure, lots of great things…

  • Tuesday Morning Report from the Commissioner’s Office

this is the first in a series of weekly reports that will be issued from the Commissioner’s office - including Commissioner Puddy Giamatti’s insights, reflections, thoughts, and ideas on the status of the Whiffle Ball League 2006.

transcribed by Dean Avery

April 11, 2006

First, I would like to thank everyone for the tremendous turnout and participation in the inaugural Whiffle Ball Tournament of 2006. The tournament stood for everything I have worked for in my short tenure as Commissioner of the league - hard work, discipline, high levels of team and inter-team comradery, hustle, not to mention the tremendous Whiffle Ball played on the field. Also, a cordial thanks for the hospitality provided by the Theadore family, the park lived up to its billing as the premier Whiffle ball park in the area yet again, a reflection on the family which inhabits the stadium. Now to turn to the play on the field, and my thoughts on the tournament. Without further ado, my 7 thoughts on the weekend....
  1. What a comeback by Chuckie EEEEE-Lek. The 5 E’s were not written here by accident, that was the amount of errors committed by the troubled 24-year old in the first 2 games, placing his team in a compromising position in the losers bracket. Yet after the first 2 games, the “Boy” refused to talk to the press, and went into an almost Zen-like state isolated from his fellow players & press deep in left field. From that point on Chuckie amazingly returned to 1998 form, at the plate and in the field. Congratulations on your performance in the face of such adversity Chuckie, but as Commissioner of the League I must issue a formal warning for not speaking to the press. We must cooperate with the press and give this league a good name, the league cannot afford our players to behave in such a manner, no matter the heckling you have received. Another boycott of the press will result in a two-inning suspension and substantial monetary fine.
  2. An amazing performance by Weaze this weekend. A team picked to finish fourth in the tournament marched all the way to the finals, this after Weaze suffered an ankle injury in the second game of the tournament (an MRI on Monday showed no structural damage). Covered with blood, sweat, and dirt, Weaze put on a show of unmatched heart and courage on Sunday. We can look for Weaze to contend for Player of the Year after a performance like that.
  3. The disappointing play of Rey & Rash. Amazement, shock, disbelief are all words that come to mind. A team that “guaranteed” victory in the tournament, comes out and loses to the team projected to finish last. Not only was the Whiffle ball nation surprised by the feeble performance of the Bash Brothers, Rey was so disappointed after losing he mentioned retirement. I believe those were emotions speaking, but what a bad day of Whiffle ball for the once proud team.
  4. Nice work by Theo. Theo carried his team to a victory before running out of gas against the eventual champions. Theo showed promise at the plate and on the mound, impressing the Whiffle ball nation, and setting himself up to be a sleeper in the next tournament (on Monday he hinted at picking up a new partner for the next tournament).
  5. People from towns other than Mystic need not attempt to play in this league. As became clearly evident yet again, the level of play of Whiffle ball in Mystic is superior to any other in Southeastern Connecticut. Furthermore, as Commissioner I proclaim Mystic the hotbed of Whiffle ball for the whole Nutmeg State. I appreciate players from North Stonington, Groton, etc... but please do not expect to win if you enter a tournament hosted by Mystic-bred players....
  6. which brings me to the idea of AAA or a WBDL. After the performance by certain unnamed players in the tournament, I am thinking of appointing a committee to look into the creation of a AAA league or Whiffle Ball Developmental League (WBDL). The need is evident, yet financial and logistical matters must be investigated.
  7. The Champs were the Champs. As Commissioner, I am not sure if this budding dynasty is good for our league, or detrimental to the growth of the league. I believe all teams would be well served to watch the chemistry and love for the game the Champs continue to exude. If the team of Doug & Dean wins over 80% of the games they play this year, they will be asked to retire and be immediately placed in the Mystic branch of the Whiffle Ball Hall of Fame. Whiffle ball nation better get to work, because reports out of the Doug & Dean camp were that Monday morning they were already back in the gym getting primed for a 3-peat.
Thanks to everyone for participating in the first Whiffle ball tournament of the year. Thanks to Pod and Mrs. Theadore for their hospitality and first class playing field. Check the website for updated statistics, player & team rankings, and pictures. What a summer of Whiffle ball this will be....

  • The Lost Hero

by Rey Lee Menor

Whiffle Ball Insider

April 3, 2006

In an era of juiced balls, shattered records, and numerous steroid allegations, one man's story was lost among all of the commotion and hype being given to controversial athletes such as Mark MacGwire and Sammy Sosa. This man, Jeffery David Parkinson, was hidden and forgotten amid the shadows. However, he to was chasing history, minus the controversy. In the summer of 1998, the Whiffle ball league was played primarily at Lelek stadium. Throughout the heat of the summer Jeffery Parkinson was bearing down on some of the most sacred historical records. Numerous shots over the left field wall left fans and fellow players wondering, not if, but when, will the man they call Parky break the record. Then tagedy struck. With one snap of the vertabrae Parky broke his neck in a freak pole vaulting accident. The reactions amongst fellow players were mixed. Some were saddened by the injury of their close friend, and some were upset at Mr. Parkinson for being so selfish and calling quits to the season over a little broken neck. Parkinson went from surely breaking the home run record to breaking his neck, a sad and unfortunate story. Nowadays, Parkinson has totally rehabbed his injury and is looking forward to the 2006 season, recently signing a contract with the once great fielder Carney Lansford. In a recent interview, Parkinson said that he might not have the same ferocious approach at the plate that he did when he was younger. With age he feels he has become a more disciplined hitter yet still possesses the strength to jack the ball out of the park off of any pitcher. If Parky can return to his once Hall of Fame form the league could be in some serious trouble, but some question the drive and desire that he once had. Now that Parkinson has grown up, does he still have the heart that it takes to succeed in such a competitive league? Only 2006 will tell the fate of Parky and his teammate.

  • A Word From the Matriarch

by Beth Avery

Contributor to Whiffle Ball Insider

April 1, 2006

As a proud matriarch of one of the players, I feel excited and confident that the upcoming season will bring my son to his full fruition as a player. Throughout his life he has strived for perfection, athleticism, physical prowess. He has made his aging pa (known as the g.o.a.t in some circles) proud. This young adult pup will dig his teeth into the gangly legs of the opponents and gnarl his way through the pack to the top of the pride. You go dingo- we know what you are made of; blood, guts and the determination to let no mutt stand in your way.

  • The “GUARANTEE”

by Rey Lee Menor

Whiffle Ball Insider

April 1, 2006

In a recent interview with Mike Rashleigh, when asked about the upcoming tournament Mike Rashleigh emphatically guaranteed that he and his partner, Rey Lee Menor, would win the first tournament of the year. Some may feel that this is a bold statement with all of the talent that is going to be in town next weekend, but Rashleigh insists that the only people that are capable of defeating the bash brothers are themselves. Rash says that due to the fact that this is going to be a low heat low humidity game fatigue will not play a factor in the outcome of this first tournament. Turmoil and lack of communication was said to be a fault in the Rash and Rey team, however, Mr. Rashleigh said that they feed off of emotion and it only makes them stronger. He is very excited about the first tournament of 2006 and is anxious to bring the title back to where Rash says it rightfully belongs.

  • Back to Back?? Team Has Tough Task at Hand

by Chuckie Lelek

Whiffle Ball Insider

March 30, 2006

When it comes to hustle and team comraderie not many do it better than Dean & Doug. However, they will be entering the 2006 campaign with bulls-eye on their backs. Whispers from around the league indicate that although they were worthy champions in 2005, they may have had a little bit of lady luck on their side. Perhaps it was a few calls going in their favor, maybe it was an easy bracket to get to the final, or very possibly it was Doug getting away with pitching too fast. Whatever it was, things just seemed to fall in place for Dean & Doug in 2005. However, 2006 promises to bring new challenges for the champs. They will have to get by stronger, more focused competition. Teams will be shooting for the opportunity to beat the champs and will surely step their games up. The parity in this league makes it difficult to win a championship, never mind two in a row. I believe that the other squads have powered up in the off-season and will make it nearly impossible for Dean & Doug to repeat.

  • Pod Park: A Whiffle Ball Historians Dream

by Kyle Theadore

Whiffle Ball Insider

March 30, 2006

Pod Park, located in the suburbs of Pawcatuck, CT is one of many state-of-the-art facilities in the area. Established in 1991, there have been a number of new renovations throughout the years. With a towering green wall in center, an uphill garden of mulch in left center, a pain in the ass tree in left, and a short porch in right, Pod Park creates a whirl wind of adventure and controversy. During its early years of existence games were played with tennis balls, and juiced up Whiffle balls and bats. In 1996, however, because of numerous complaints of broken windows from neighbors, games had to be played with a regulation Whiffle ball and bat ("nanner"). Not only does this park offer players a well maintained turf to play on, but it also offers players, as well as spectators, a country club like atmosphere. There is a players lounge in center field, where players enter and exit under the green wall, that offers many features, such as a big screen TV, couches, a poker table, putting green, treadmill (to stay energized during play and keep those sore hammys loose), a soupy buffet, and a beer tent. Fans are not permitted in this area, but are encouraged to visit the Fan Fest part of the park located on the deck in right field. Here fans are treated to great service from the staff and are able to receive knowledge about the history of Pod Park, and the many hall of fame players who have been a part of its success. This years official tournament season begins on April 7th with an opening ceremony commemorating Pod Parks 15th year of existence. Each team will pay a fee of $20. With seven teams already in the tournament the eventual winner will receive a total of $140. Teams are still encouraged to register, but deadline for registration will be on Monday April 3rd.

    An inside source out of the team Novak & Theo camp told me that there may be no team at all. A high ranking official indicated that Novak was not interested in pairing his services with Theo. In fact, Novak has been quoted on saying that, "I'll hold out and search for a new partner." When I spoke with Novak he had people in mind in which he would like to team up with. Dan Gibson out of Groton came up and, Scott O'Neill's name was mentioned. Yet, the most logical fit in my mind would be a pre-season switch with Barry and Nick which would pair Nick & Novak and create a potent tandem. Novak was quick to say that it is nothing personal with Theo and I, but his off-field issues may interfere with my aspirations of a championship in 2006. We'll have to wait and see, but expect major changes before the season starts.

  • Down and Struck Out

    • by Rey Menor

    Whiffle Ball Insider

    March 28, 2006

    Beginning the season with ten strikeouts is hardly the ideal start to the Whiffle ball season. However, that is what Jason Angelo Mellow had to deal with when he began his 2005 campaign. Prior to the 2005 season Jason Mellow was a somewhat reliable player who wasn’t the best hitter or pitcher in the league, but his obvious strength was in the field where he could utilize his mobility and make gold glove type plays which would overshadow his rather dismal pitching and hitting displays that he would display on occasion. This was not the case in the 2005 season. Mr. Mellow’s effort, or lack there of, was noticed by many of the players in the union and one could only wonder if Jason Mellow had lost his drive and his love for the game that he once had. During the interview on March 27th, just 12 days before the first tournament of the 2006 season I was able to gather some information from the mysterious man from Stonington to try and better understand him. Jason Mellow has a self-proclaimed “Eye like DiMaggio.” I asked him how that all started and the soft spoken but confident young man stated that, “he learned the strike zone directly from Joe DiMaggio in a dream that he had a few years back.” Now I was taken back by this statement and wanted to end the interview on the spot because I was obviously not talking to a sane person, however, the show had to go on and the people wanted the inside scoop on this once decent player turned fallen soldier. As the interview continued Mr. Mellow also referred to himself by another name, “Lenny Lead off”, which was in reference to the great Major Leaguer Lenny Dykstra. Because Jason Mellow feels that his strengths are hitting, getting on base and fielding he says that he is a combination of both of these great players. When asked about his horrid start to last season Mellow said that he has gone through vigorous training to work on his hand-eye coordination as well as his mobility to avoid such a dismal start to the season. He says that his “greatest weakness is the reality that there is no competition and that he has to play lesser competition therefore making him play down to there level.” As the interview went on the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place. Jason Mellow suffers from multiple personalities and depression. His lack of confidence at the plate can be credited to his depression and his two alter egos explain the split personalities that he possesses. Therefore, I conclude that Jason Angelo Mellow was plagued with many sicknesses in the 2005 season preventing him to perform up to his potential. He is currently on medications such as Zooloft to prevent a repeat of the sometimes nauseating performances that he displayed last season. One can only hope and pray that he is healed of his ailments, and can compete in such a competitive league.

    • Taped Bats...A Forgotten Tradition??

    by Chuckie Lelek

    Whiffle Ball Insider

    March 28, 2006

    Growing up in the legendary Whiffle ball town of Mystic, I have been involved in or been witness to some of the most exciting games in the history of Whiffle ball. From the 18 inning affair at McCabe park, to the left handed perfect game at Lelek stadium. Whatever the situation the games were always highly competitive and the rules set in stone. Taped bats are legal, they always have been, that is until a lesser of a town, Pawcatuck, incorporated its own set of rules. For the past two seasons the influential Pawcatuck native power house, Rey Lee Menor, has convinced the league of using the plain yellow bats, aka “nanners.” I believe his reasoning is simple, the weight fits his swing. Well, what about us who grew up using the taped bats, who’s swings just simply aren’t fit to produce with the “nanners?” I’m not proposing to go overboard and put steel rods in the barrels like some have been known to do in the past. However, I firmly believe that a couple layers of electrical tape would not hurt the game. In fact we are taking the integrity out of the game and forgetting our roots by using “nanners.” Whiffle ball was born in Mystic with certain traditions, so why should we conform to fit one person’s swing. In conclusion I propose: TAPE OPTIONAL!!!!!!

    • Player Struggles with Off-field issues in '05, says he has put them behind him.

    by Dean Avery

    Whiffle Ball Insider

    March 27, 2006

    In 2005, a year filled with drama and wonderful Whiffle ball, an intriguing story somehow snuck under the radar. The question everyone was asking was, what happened to Chuckie Lelek?? In 2005, Lelek's struggles at the plate were readily apparent to the Whiffle Ball nation. On the mound, once one of the most feared pitchers in the league, with a slider that has made grown men's knees quiver, Lelek fooled no one in 2005. Lelek fell from the upper eschelon of Whiffle Ball players, a Hall of Fame career now plagued by inconsistency and putrid performance. When asked about the sudden falloff in performance, Lelek pointed to off-field issues though he was hesitant to get into specifics. Lelek has been invovled with the judicial and legal system, in a career that now closely resembles Shawn Kemp's. To Whiffle Ball nations knowledge, Lelek has a propensity for driving while intoxicated, however we know of no illegitimate children Lelek has fathered. A fiercly prideful person and player, Lelek vows to overcome his off-field problems. Will Lelek be able to bounce back from one of the worst seasons in recent memory?? That is just one of the many questions that will be answered in 2006.
