Hello sir, I\u2019ve seen you driving by several times, always slowing down to see what we\u2019re doing. Please, don\u2019t stand on ceremony- we are all friends here and welcome the company of strangers. This is my family, playing the greatest game in the world- McCurdy Wiffle Ball! What? You\u2019ve never heard of the game? It\u2019s a classic, sir, I assure you, and one that you may want to pass down to your boys, if you have the pleasure to have sons. Out there are brothers, fathers, sons, nephews, and uncles. Oh, the older gentleman at bat right now? That would be my father, bless him. Most of the family calls him “Extra Innings Billy”, a nickname he earned over 30 years ago. Why, you ask? Simply put, he’s always had a knack for coming through when a tight games goes long. He’s what the younger ones call “clutch as heck”<\/p>\n
