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
softball originated as an indoor sport in a indoor gym in 1887. outdoor softball has roots in Minneapolis and in 1895 was created. it was created by fire department officer Lewis Robert Sr. he was looking for a way to get his men some exercise during their down time. he created his game to fit the confines of a vacant lot next to his firehouse.
Long time ago... i forgot when... durning one of the wars, men's baceball had to be shut down for the duration of the war. So they decided to keep baceball going by letting woman play. And the person who tought of it, his manager decided to keep womans baceball going. Then later they called it softball.
And that's the short version!!
