Verified answer

When you consider the fact that the Wiffle Ball was created to curve like crazy, the origin’s clear: It’s a play on the word “whiff,” which is what the poor sap at the plate often does with that skinny yellow bat. The inventor’s son and his friends, the original Wiffleballers, referred to strikeouts as “whiffs,” and he dropped the “h” when he decided to sell the balls. Three up, three down, baby—it’s all about efficiency.

“It also meant he needed one less letter for the sign on the building,” said David Mullany, president of The Wiffle Ball, Inc., and grandson of the ball’s inventor.

Wiffle ball is a variation of Baseball that is played with a plastic bat (that's usually but not always yellow) and a plastic ball that has various holes in it, usually contained on one side of the ball. The game was created in Fairfield, CT, in 1953. The man that created the game was David N. Mullany.

The Wiffle ball was invented by David N. Mullany of Fairfield, Connecticut in 1953 in Shelton, Connecticut [1] when he designed a ball that curved easily for his 12-year old son.The game of wiffleball, which sprang from the invention of the popular Wiffle ball, became popular as a backyard, sandlot and picnic game in the 1960s and 1970s. Since 1980, the game has also exploded as an organized sport, with many successful leagues and tournaments now played across the United States and as far away as Spain.
