Twinsburg World Series of Wiffle Ball

114 whiffle ball teams competed in the Twinsburg World Series of Wiffle Ball last year, earning a spot in the “Guinness World Records” as the world’s largest whiffle ball tournament.

Organizers are expecting to surpass that with about 175 teams facing off at the eighth annual event Aug. 12 to 14 at Liberty Park. The event donates money to Twinsburg youth baseball and has funded a new kids’ baseball field at Liberty Park.

While there’s serious competition, the mood is light with comedic team names like Wiff That and Premier Dad Bods Select and playful activities including a dunk tank, mechanical bull and the Players Club pop cover band fronted by “Vanilla Thunder.”
