Video: Local Backyard Baseball Diamond
Eddie Zajdel from Plymouth has transformed his backyard into a baseball fan’s dream…
What began as just a small mound and a home plate in his parents backyard has now taken shape into one of the best wiffle ball parks in the country.
“The field started off with just a mound of dirt that I put in the middle of the backyard,” Kajdel tells USA Today. “My parents weren’t too enthusiastic about that, but they saw just how much enjoyment me and my friends were getting out of that. And because of that, it kind of took on a life of its own.”
Eddie said over Covid he was able to really take off with the field. He added a fence, real grass and a garage sports bar for in between games.
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio.
