FVWBL Radio Heard In Italy
by Judd P. Berthiaume

The Frank Viola Wiffle Ball League has always been regarded as a local affair. The official events have never strayed from Berthiaume Backyard and the news has never spread far beyond the players in the events. FVWBL Radio may change all of that.

Soon after the championship game broadcast was uploaded to FVWBL.com Katie Mroszak, a regular player in the FVWBL, emailed to say that she had listened to some of the FVWBL Radio broadcast.

"That audio is hilarious,"Mroszak said after tuning in right before bedtime to hear Adam Flaherty's play-by-play, Sunday night. Katie is studying abroad mostly in Rome this semester and will likely return for off-season events sometime in February. Until then, Mroszak has turned to the internet to keep track of her beloved Minnesota Twins as well as her friends participating in FVWBL events.

Mroszak, however, was not pleased with all of the improvements to FVWBL.com.

"Why on earth did you need to put the freakiest picture of me on (the FVWBL) page. It's scary as all heck. My goodness."

Friday night a Ken Griffey Jr. baseball tournament (Super Nintendo) was held and Mike Kroona was crowned the victor. Next up for the FVWBL is likely to be a ping-pong tournament.
