NEW CARLISLE- Commissioner Koby Keck will return for his fifth season at the helm of the
Old Republic Wiffle Ball League. Despite rumors that he would step down, Keck has
decided to remain the league's commissioner for at least one more season.
However, there have been some changes to the league's front office.
League co-founder, and formerly the sole Vice President, Jared Emmons has been
re-assigned to Executive Vice President, Business. Emmons, also the owner of the

finances of the league. He will manage team league dues and league expenditures.
Eric Johnson, owner of Emery's Army, has been promoted to Executive Vice President,
Wiffleball Operations. Johnson's primary role will be handling game-related matters.
Johnson will make sure teams show up to games and that any postponed games are
promptly rescheduled.
Johnson will also assist the Commissioner's office in disciplinary matters, such as
suspensions, for on-field related incidents.
Mill Creek Minutemen owner Matt Gard has been appointed as Executive Vice President,
Media Development and Public Relations. Gard will oversee the development of the league's
multimedia projects, such as the Wiffleball Tonight program. He will also be the primary
representative with the media personnel covering the league.
Old Republic Wiffle Ball League Players' Association (ORWBLPA) Executive Director Marc
Lindsey will also return for a fifth season. A member of the New Carlisle Newts, Lindsey will
represent the players' interests in matters ranging from suspensions, trades, or contract
negotiations.
