And you shall know them by their bats of plastic and their hole-y balls (or something like that)

Signs of the Apocolypse Part 247:

A teenager at McCallie High School in Chattanooga was injured in the aftermath of a contentious whiffle-ball game.

I grew up with the half holed ball and the game, and my friends and I engaged in many an argument over the strike zone (solved with a towel hung from the back of a chair), but we never resorted to violence. Not that I eeeven want to resort to the ‘back in my day, we never used violence when playing whiffle-ball’, but what the hell…what’s WRONG with these whipper-snappers today?

maybe a big city - small city difference. My Jr High had to close down for a day because of a near riot over water balloons. Many people were assaulted.

We settled the strike zone argument by just making the batter throw it in the air and hit it. But then we never had enough people to have a pitcher anyway.
