OT: McCoven Wiffleball in the city - date ideas?

by j14 on Oct 22, 2008 8:58 AM PDT

I know we have tried to get baseball in the park together a couple of times to no avail, but today at lunch I had a similar idea. Wiffleball... since it requires fewer people, it just might work.

Personally I'd love for it to be a weekday lunch time thing if possible. I think playing wiffleball at lunch on a friday would be a great way to end the work week, but I realize that it is probably more realistic some other time.

If there is any interest, we can start hammering out the details.

It's funny, I probably should check my own schedule before proposing dates for this thing. I'll be working the Web 2.0 Summit in the city from the 5-7 so that doesn't work for me either.

It seems like any other Friday works for me though. Those of you who have tighter schedules, is there a day that works best for you?

As long as this goes down while I’m unemployed, I’m in.

I work in the financial district. There’s that park just north of Embarcadero Center that might work.

It’s a shame AT&T isn’t like PETCO, which has a FANTASTIC wiffle ball field in CF open to the public on non-game days

But then you’re left with a sentence fragment.

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

There is a field south of the stadium (across the cove) near the Willie Mac statue.

Damn geography

I love Wiffleball.
In Concord circa 1973 (live ball era) I once struck out 20 batters in a game.
The 16th was a called strike three (It hit the garage door handle).

Trivial Fact: Every one of the batters was named Tim Byrd.

I work in financial district...

…and would be down to play. I’m still pissed the AN v McC softball game never panned out last year (thanks for trying though Baron).

Thank God that's over.

Who could make it?

If we were to try this on Friday, November 7 at 12:30pm (at the park suggested by Goofus). If we get enough people, maybe this can become a monthly or bi-weekly thing.

Giants! Giants! HELP US GOD!
