Ever since I read about the World Adult Kickball Association national tournament I’ve had a mission in mind. I want to start or join a WAKA kickball team around here. I’ve gotta do it. It’s stuck in my brain.
It’s so competitive that the officials are required to pass a written test, and must receive recommendations. It’s so competitive that, to make the game harder for pitchers, they must make the ball bounce at least twice before it reaches the plate. It’s so competitive that some players even delay their drinking until after playing the nine games in one day that could make them champions.
And, for these guys and girls, that self-control is quite an accomplishment.
After all, the Founders Day Weekend ends with what WAKA touts at the World’s Largest Flip Cup tournament, which essentially involves swigging as fast as you can.
And, after all, these are some of the other team names:
Party Foul. Happy Hour. And yes, Menace to Sobriety.
