NESN Premieres Yard Work on Sept. 10 at 9 p.m.

Everyone has played Wiffle ball. Some would even consider themselves bona fide superstars at the game. But few know what it takes or what it’s like to make it to the Wiffle ball national championship.

On Thursday, Sept. 10, at 9 p.m., NESN will premiere Yard Work, a Brett Bevelacqua documentary that offers an unprecedented look at the world of professional Wiffle ball, including the championship game in Cedar Park, Texas. The hour-long documentary also profiles replica Wiffle ball parks and the impact they’ve had on their communities.

The film features commentary from Jenn Stroud Rossman, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Lafayette College. She discusses her work, “An Experimental Study of Wiffle Ball Aerodynamics” and explains what makes the Wiffle ball work its magic.

Yard Work was shot in 2008 in New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Cedar Park. You can catch the premiere on NESN.
