Because we CAN, and because it gives us a chance to feel some of that glory we once felt on the baseball field, but in a less spectacular way. Plus, it's freakin' fun! There's nothing better than blasting a game winning homer in the bottom of the 7th to win a game. There's some things we were never able to accomplish in baseball that we can now do in wiffleball. Sure, wiffleball doesn't compare to the real thing, but it's as close as we can get.
