The Twiffleball World Series
Sundays are a perfect day to gather with friends - or in this case, some people you’ve never met before - and play the Twitter version of Wiffleball…Twiffleball!!! More than 60 people gathered at Adolph Ochs Playground in Manhattan, yesterday, for a wild and funny version of America’s favorite passtime.
There were 8 teams of gorgeous and athletic young men and women who played round after round of championship ball. Cynthia Hellen, helped organize the event, which raised money for www.angelwish.org , an amazing organization that helps children with HIV/AIDS cope with their disease by finding ways to put happiness, support and even food and toys into their daily lives.Â

As the teams battled it out all day long (battle may be a loose term when referencing Twiffleball..since there really is no catcher/running bases) one superstar team stood out. New York’s Apple Bomber’s (originally Apple Bottoms- Nelly the rapper reference) took home the big win on the 2009 Twiffleball World Series.Â
