WSJ: Wiffle Ball

"You've got to stick with what works," said Stephen Mullany who, along with his brother, David J. Mullany, runs the company that their grandfather started in 1953.

 

That philosophy is how three generations of the Mullany family have built a company—and kept it thriving—around a single, unchanging product. The ball has always been white plastic. It has always had eight holes. These facts are immutable.
