2003- The Colehamer Cougars were formed and wiffleball began in
the GKWL. It began with just four guys playing wiffleball, those
original four were Mike Triscari (currently the Cougar captain), Scott
Fitzpatrick (Cougar co-captain), Mark Fitzpatrick (Cougar 1st baseman),
and Kyle Brown (Cougar 2nd baseman, who has recently moved and has been
playing less). These four began to play pickup games and form into
a team and then started looking for opponents. |
|
2004- Wiffleball took off once again during the
summer of '04 and the formation of other teams began. Teams such
as the Dogwood Dodgers who finished at 0-1 and never played a second
game. There was also the Mountain View Vipers who lost all three
of the games they played. The Vipers, though, are making their way
back into competition this season as the Black Sox and are hoping to
play games in the summer of '06 though many of their games will be
exhibitions to ease them back in. The winter of '04 put an end to
wiffleball until winter break '05 when the Cougars and the Bums met for
the first of many meetings. |

2005- As the year 2005 began the Cougars and Bums
met for the first time at Triscari Field. The result was a 7-6
Cougar win and the game was won by two Kyle Brown home runs. That
winter would mark the end of the 2005 winter season in which the Cougars
would finish on top with a 13-3 record. The summer of 2005 would
mark the first summer season in GKWL history. It would be capped
off by a World Series in which the Colehamer Cougars defeated the arch
rival Bums in a four-game sweep. In this season three teams would
compete: the Colehamer Cougars, Poestenkill Bums, and the Cricket Court
Killers who finished at 3-13 and missed the postseason. The MVP of
that series was Scott Fitzpatrick and the MVP of the regular season was
fellow Cougar Mike Triscari. The other awards for these players
and other players can be found in the roster section on the player
profiles. The series concluded in mid-November and is available to
players and others close to the league on DVD. |

2006- The year 2006 has been a very bittersweet
one in terms of wiffleball for the GKWL. The first "disaster" was
the moving of everyday-Cougar Kyle Brown; who moved to Renssallaer where
he lived prior to 2003. The Cougars are saddened to know that Kyle
Brown will never be the everyday player he once was. They have
only recently found a everyday player in Earl Turner to serve as a
"replacement" so to speak. The Bums also suffered a blow to their
roster as the Hendrickson bros. who were so critical in their Wild Card
run the previous year moved to Sacramento during the summer of '06.
The league though did add a new franchise in the Averill Park Sea Bass
who's roster is located under the roster section of the site. They
are a competitive team who has defeated the Cougars twice, their only
two wins of the season. On July 24, 2006 the standings stand as
follows:
Cougars 13-4, Bums 8-6, Irish (formerly the Killers) 1-4, Sea Bass
2-10 |
