The Wiffler: The Ted Whitfield Story

Ross Patterson brought us 7-10 Split, a silly story about an aspiring actor who chooses to exploit his bowling skills to become famous. And now he is staying within the realm of “sports” (I dont think of bowling as a sport) to bring us a Mockumentary about WiffleBall!

Cinematical says:

The Wiffler: The Ted Whitfield Story, which Tommy Reid is currently directing in California. This will be his second feature after 7-10 Split, which starred Patterson and also featured the likes of Tara Reid, Ray Wise, Vinnie Jones, Robyn Lively, Rachel Hunter, and a ton of other left-of-A-List celebs.

Set during the Major League Baseball strike in 1994, the film will focus on “a nation turning its eyes to wiffleball and attempts to break the homerun record.”

I like that this mirrors some of the sports phenomena that have actually taken place. During the war, major league baseball was suspended with all their boys off to serve. The women’s baseball league as depicted in A League of their Own filled the void. When Professional Hockey went on strike, an insurgence into minor league hockey attendance took place.

So why not bring to light Americas most obscurely forgotten laughable sport in place of a ball strike? Sounds like it would fit in with the zany mold of a mockumentary.

I haven’t seen 7-10 Split, but it sounds like a good “check your brain at the door” light comedy from the reviews.
