Wiffle Wars was created by Cities 97.1 Music Director Paul Fletcher and former NHL star Mark Parrish after several years of friends playing wiffleball in his backyard and more and more people asking to play.
Starting in 2017, Wiffle Wars expanded and moved to CHS field before a St. Paul Saints game and raised over $8,000 for United Heroes League. Based on the success of the inaugural tournament, the teams were expanded and in 2018, $11,085 was raised for the Hendrickson Foundation.
In 2019, Wiffle Wars is again expanding and will include 6 teams of Minnesota athletes and media personalities trying their hand at wiffleball. Tickets can be purchased online and will include a reserved outfield ticket, a Saints Group hat and a $9 dollar donation benefitting Children's Minnesota. Join us for all of the Wiffle Wars action, then stay for the Saints game at 7 p.m.
Past participants have included Zach Parise, Jason and Carly Zucker, Jana Shortal, Justin Morneau, John Randle and more. Expect many fan favorites again this year.
