5/04/2009 by Brian Meyers American League 2009 Preview. As an on looker or new player of the Kalamazoo Wiffleball League, it is sometimes hard to follow along without knowing some basic things about each team; Who are they? What to expect? Take some time and learn a little about each team.

Snowsuit and the Icy road. Who are they? The two captains(Lukas and Matt) are all that remains of last years Face and Humans and couple new additions, Brink and BlueJeans. What to expect? A team-ocracy.  They might pull the batting order out of a hat and they might rotate pitchers every couple of innings.  They make the game enjoyable and most teams will look forward to their match ups.Team Page.

One Hit Wonders. Who are they? Take the 08’ Transformers and the 08’ Sittin’ Ducks and smash them together, now you have the One Hit Wonders.  What to expect? No one knows exactly how the new concoction will work out.  Only time will tell for sure.Team Page.

Flyin' Wildebeest Who are they? The same 08’ AL champs minus Brainerd, but plus Pat Burnell. What to expect? Kirsch will return to his 07’ MVP stature and missing games should not be a problem.  They will certainly be out to defend their 08’ crown and should be playing come August.

Shanghai Chuckers Who are they? The same Chuckers from 08’, but missing 08’ ROY Josh Sobeck. What to expect? Expect close games!  These guys don’t usually fall too far behind, nor do they ever really run away with a game.  Top notch attitudes which make for enjoyable games as well.Team Page.

Fightin' Roo's Who are they? An all rookie team, but now featuring 4th year veteran Joe Brainerd. What to expect? They should float around the .500 mark, but might not have enough to push them into the playoffs.  Could be a surprise team for 09’.Team Page.

The Gentlemen Who are they? What remains of 08’ Gentlemen(Jennings, Tony, and Scott) and a couple of new players. What to expect? They probably won’t be the most dominating pitching team in the AL, but any offense featuring Bryan Jennings will defiantly be one of the top in the league.  Should battle for the top three spots all year long.Team Page.

Industrials Who are they? The same 08’ team, minus pesky leadoff hitter, James Moe.  What to expect? Possibly Home and Away uniforms? The Indies feature new threads for 09’, but the same team overall.  Should be one of the last three teams standing when the playoffs start.Team Page.
