Two weeks from tonight. The reigning champion Pirates (fresh off their third franchise title) will defend their title and try to become the first, league repeat champs since 2008! They face off against the newly formed and @keaner92 led Marlins franchise ‘09-‘10 league throwback). Lots of things are developing with the league but this will be the center of our attention and it will be a great opening night doubleheader.

Opening day in a couple of weeks and only a few more things needed for the field to have it completely ready. Tonight was new light tweaks, lay down the new mound circle, patch up some holes, and let the field breathe a little more.

Some field work today allowed for time to hoist up the new banner for 2021 courtesy of @wiffleballinc . Thanks! Opening day is slotted for Mid-April. Details on that coming soon.....

Little #springtraining action from last night. Field construction this weekend.

And so it begins. Expos, Marlins, and @colonie_wiffle_pirates representatives report to camp...#springtraining21 #maskup #springtraining #WIFFLE #indoors

A milestone to watch out for in 2021. Innings and the depth of the Marlins rotation will determine if @ryan_huber82 can be one of the fastest to 400 strikeouts in league history in just three seasons. He could join some elite company. Captains and long time vets such as @milyadis @djlava35 and @antoniogadani didn’t even achieve these strikeout numbers. Gadani and Lavalley even started at the same age as Huber.

More milestones!! Much like his fellow Marlins teammate Zach Kean (@keaner92), Pat Lasch (@pat_lasch24) has been incredibly consistent at the plate over his career, averaging 11 home runs per season! He enters the 2021 season with 86 career bombs, needing just 14 to reach 100 for his career! With the new Mohawk Marlin roster, Lasch will be looked upon to anchor down the lineup. Does he have the power to reach 100 career dingers? We shall see... #dingers #ColonieWiffleball #wiffle #wiffleball #homeruns

The Rookie Class of 2009. Both Kean and Lavalley started their careers as teammates on the Marlins. Their first season was successful despite a tough LCS loss in five games to Gadani and the Dodgers (who would go on to beat the Yankees in 7 games) in 2009. Both players played another season with one another and parted in 2011 where both would take on different roles, with different numbers, and developed their game. Fast forward 10 years later to now and both will begin their first cracks at the role of captain with their own teams in 2021. Who comes out on top? And what styles will each captain bring to their team?.....we’re itching to know!

Let’s take a look at another milestone watch for the 2021 season! Tonight we focus on Mr. Zach Kean (@keaner92), the captain of the Mohawk Marlins, formerly known as the Yankees. Entering this year, Kean sits at 174 career dingers, with his eyes set on 200 for his lifetime! For years, Kean has stood out as one of the more consistent hitters in colonie wiffleball, constantly giving opposing arms headaches out of the leadoff spot. Does he have it in him to crack 26 bombs this season, and get himself to that lovely number 200? Only time will tell...#WIFFLE #wiffleball #dinger #bombs #homers #MohawkMarlins

As we mentioned a few posts ago, the Yankees have decided to refresh their look, and are now known as the Mohawk Marlins! Now, it’s time to take a look at their refreshed roster! First, let’s start with the stay overs from the Yankees. The Marlins will be led by team captain Zach Kean, who has been one of the most consistent hitters for the past few seasons. In addition to Kean, the Marlins lineup will be anchored down by Mr. Pat Lasch, who has had some strong showings at the plate in recent years as a member of the Yanks. On the mound, the Marlins will be led by Michael Genito, who broke out in his rookie season last year with the Yankees and looks to improve in his sophomore campaign, and defending Cy Young award winner Ryan Huber. Lastly, the Marlins welcome a newcomer, Mr. Jim Cole. Cole spent a couple of seasons with Colonie Wiffleball before pursuing some other Wiffle opportunities, but now he’s back, and ready to help the new look Marlins on their path to a title!

We have yet another milestone watch for the 2021 season! Tonight we take a look at Michael Ilyadis (@milyadis), who not only puts up staggering numbers on the field but also serves as the leagues commissioner! While Ilyadis has logged some insane stats at the plate throughout his career, this milestone focuses on his work on the mound! He comes into the 2021 season boasting 4,272 K’s, which puts him a mere 12 strikeouts away from having the most punch outs in league history! Ilyadis will most definitely be called on to anchor down the new Expos rotation, and he’ll do so with this incredible achievement right around the corner! #WIFFLE #wiffleball #punchouts #coloniewiffleball #milestone #rackemup

No, this is not another new team alert. It’s a team re-branding alert! The Yankees, who will be led by team captain Zach Kean (@keaner92), have decided to opt for a new look and name. Beginning in 2021, they will be known as the Mohawk Marlins! Stay on the lookout for some more updates for this squad, including a full roster, preview and milestone watch!

Time to meet one of our new league members for the 2021 season! Introducing Mr. Brian Kelly (@briankelly1518), who joins us from the Hess Field Wiffle league. Kelly joins the newly formed Expos squad (see recent post for details) and boasts some very impressive stats from the Hess league. In less than 200 career games played, Kelly batted a stellar .357 with over 300 career RBIs. And let’s not forget about the pitchers mound, where he racked up over 800 career strikeouts and a 3.54 ERA! One Expos teammate described him as “the big ticket” and another teammate was quoted as saying “he’s your favorite pitcher’s favorite pitcher, an absolute workhorse”. Call him what you like, but Kelly is poised to take the league by storm and help his Expos win a title in their first year as a franchise!

A BIG congrats to Mr. Anthony Gadani (@antoniogadani) for being named the 2020 National Closer of the Year by @nationalwiffle !! His 7 saves this year marked his highest total since the 2008 season! #WIFFLE #wiffleball #closer #shutthedoor #lockdown #MrSandman #lightsout
