Best Answer

Lewis Rober, Sr. used the empty lot next to his firehouse to create a softball diamond. He first thought of it because he needed something to keep his firemen busy. He developed the game completely separately than George Hancock, probably. However, softball was first move outdoors by George Hancock, not Lewis Rober.

Why was softball inevented?

Invented? Well, softball is simply the female version of baseball. No huge difference. Just the pitchers, the glove, and the ball and the obvious, it's a girls sport. Apparently, who ever invented or developed softball, thought females shouldn't be allowed to play with males, so established a new sport. More intense and difficult in certain cases. I hope this answers your question
