I love softball. It was actually invented in 1887 in Chicago, Illinois as an indoor only game.
I use to pay softball in the summer.
That sounds great, Summer time usually is the best time to play it, In fact the name "softball" was given to the game in the year 1926, because the balls used to be very soft.
They aren't soft now. I got hit with a line drive and it hurt.
Ouch that sounds painful. It wasnt until a large tournament held in the year 1933 at the Chicago World's Fair until it spurred interest in the game.
I love Chicago, one of my favorite cities.
Indeed its bascially the baseball capital of the world, The very first rules for softball were not published until 1889
Who invented the game?
George Hancock invented it, In fact there are a total of three types of softball.
