Softball was created by Ben Javitz on Thanksgiving of 1887 after a football game. after all of the bets were paid off, a couple of men grabbed a few boxing gloves and the handle of a broom and with chalk drew a diamond on the indoor football feild. there they rolled up a pair of old sox and played the first softball game. Of course this was Javitz's idea. although some people think it was pro Baseball players that needed things to do in off season, that is not true! pros do have an off season but ar e always playing with a baseball! it

When did softball become most popular?

In the duration of the war, in about the 1900s maybe the 1800s. When the men were off to war, there was no baseball going on. So then they made a woman's baseball league.
