How to Buy Wiffle Ball Equipment
Wiffle ball was created by the Mullany family and the help of a friend who worked at the Colt Firearms factory. The factory made a gift set for Coty, the perfume company, that included small plastic balls. Mullany asked his friend for samples of the balls. The Mullany family discovered that the best wiffle ball pattern had eight oblong holes on the top and a solid bottom.
