Fields
There are some wiffle ball enthusiasts who have taken field construction to inspiring heights. Some have built fields to resemble major league ballparks. Thomas P. Hannon Jr. authored a book, Backyard Ball, on his experiences building a smaller version of Ebbets Field. Patrick M. O'Connor wrote a book, Little Fenway, about building his versions of Fenway Park and Wrigley Field. But not all wiffleball fields have been modeled from major league ball parks. Some have created original fields, Strawberry Field being the most exquisite. Rick Messina spent $700,000+ on constructing Strawberry Field, which features lights for night games, bleachers, & press box. He also converted a neighboring house into a clubhouse/pub.
Building fields can lead to controversy and legal issues. In 2008, the New York Times published an article about some teenagers who had to tear down a wiffle ball field they had built because of neighbor complaints.
