Show The wiffleball challenge Editor's Note: This is an open letter mailed to the Review office as Dane Iorg is a resident of Pleasant Grove. Dear Garth and Dane: Congratulations on the success of your respective clubs - Toronto and Kansas City. Also on the success on a personal level the two of you enjoyed. Everyone contributes to the success of their teams, and you two were certainly no small part of it. That aside, we'll now get down to the purpose of this letter. We recently read a column about the two of you in the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner which deteailed your background and childhood in Blue Lake, Calif. In it, you both stated that you played a great deal of wiffleball while growing up. Also, all you could remember about growing up was playing wiffleball and shooting baskets. While reading this, we both got the impression that the Iorg brothers must be pretty good wiffleball wif-fleball players; but baseball and wiffleball are two very different games. We hereby challenge both of you ' to come to Los Angeles and play us in a game of two-on-two wiffleball. Frankly, as unofficial wiffle champions of the State of California, Califor-nia, we don't feel that you have what it takes to stay in the game with us, not to mention the possibility of beating us. Right now, we are in the middle of the 5th Annual Jimi Hendrix Memorial Wiffle Tournament. Tour-nament. It is one-on-one, and the two of us have split the first four championships, dominating the competition. As a team, we are nearly unbeatable. This is why we are always looking for some good competition. Thus, the direct challenge to the Iorg brothers. If you have the fortitude to accept this challenge, we will be more than happy to oblige. If you don't, it is understandable; how embarrassing it would be for two major-leaguers to be run off the field by a couple of amateurs. David Smith Jim Wakefield Sunland, Calif. |
