2006 Travis Roy Foundation WIFFLE Ball TournamentBilly Doyle, a tall, lanky left-handed pitcher for the Boston Beef is a legend in Wiffle ball circles. Many consider him the best Wiffle ball pitcher east of the Mississippi. Others claim that he can't win the big one. From 2002-2005, Billy Doyle registered more strikeouts than any pitcher and carried the Boston Beef to multiple playoff berths. However, once he got into the playoffs he was lit up for home runs and the Beef failed to make it to the championship game. Many considered 2006 as the make-or-break year for Billy Doyle. As it turned out, Billy Doyle erased any doubts about his ability to win the big one. He hit and pitched the Boston Beef to a decisive victory in the 5th annual Travis Roy Foundation Wiffle ball tournament. They out-performed 15 other teams. Billy Doyle was named the MVP and his teammate Andrew Sullivan helped set a high bar for team fundraising. $70,000 was raised for the Travis Roy Foundation.
