A Pennsylvania resident wearing only his underwear received a severe beating with a Wiffle bat after he declined to clothe himself.
The man, identified as Donald Fehr, suffered a number of severe injuries including a broken jaw, a fractured skull and several broken teeth in the beating.
Bethlehem police indicated in reports that Fehr was sitting on his porch wearing only his underwear when he was approached by three men, one of which, a 19-year-old named Hector Morales, Jr., asked the man to “stop being disrespectful” and to put on some clothing because his girlfriend would be arriving shortly.

When Fehr declined the invitation to put on proper attire, Morales allegedly began beating the man with a Wiffle bat and subsequently with his own fists after the bat broke.
For his role in this heinous Wiffle bat attack, Morales was charged with aggravated assault and a number of other related offenses and is currently being held in Berks Country Prison on unrelated charges, according to the Associated Press.
History of Wiffle Ball
In 1953 a man by the name of David N. Mullany created a plastic ball for his son that many of us have come to know and love as the Wiffle ball.
Designed to easily curve, the baseball-size Wiffle ball allows for a significant amount of creativity on the Wiffle ball diamond and gives pitchers the ability to throw an array of wildly-curving pitches such as curveballs, sinkers and difficult-to-hit risers.
Soon after the creation of the ball, a plastic Wiffle bat – probably similar to the one used to beat Fehr mercilessly – was designed to accompany and compliment the Wiffle ball.
Given the durable, lightweight and portable nature of both the Wiffle ball and Wiffle bat, the game of Wiffle ball has become a backyard, front yard and almost-any-location favorite for many across the United States and other parts of the world.
In almost every part of the country, teams, leagues and tournaments have been created for Wiffle ball enthusiasts looking to aim for the fences with the help of a faithful, usually yellow, bat.
