I love to play softball, I find it more enjoyable than baseball.
Softball is pretty fun. I like to play slow-pitch, where the ball measures 11-12 inches in circumference and there are 10 players on the field at once.
I like to play slow-pitch as well it allows the batter to get more on base hits and makes the game more exiting.
Definitely easier for the casual player. With the competitive nature of fast-pitch softball it's no surprise it was played at the Olympics in 2004 and 2008, among other years.
