How was the softball created?

Answer 1

Someone invented Baseball first long ago and they created softball after baseball because long ago baseball was only for boys

Softball was invented inside the Farragut Boat Club on a blustery, winter day in November, 1887, in Chicago, IL. A bunch of Yale and Harvard alumni anxiously awaited the results of the Harvard-Yale football game, and when the news came that Yale had defeated Harvard, 17-8, one Yale supporter, overcome with enthusiasm, picked up an old boxing glove and threw it at a nearby Harvard alumni, who promptly tried to hit it back with a stick. This gave George Hancock, a reporter for the Chicago Board of Trade, an idea. He suggested a game of indoor baseball. Naturally, Hancock's friends thought he was talking about playing a game outdoors, not indoors

Answer 2

softball was created because softball is a sport similar to baseball but for girls,and with a larger ball.and also an under hand pitch,not overhand

Answer 3

George Hancock is given credit for founding softball because in a gymnasium after watching the harvard-yale football game in 1887 he threw a ball at another man and yelled lets play ball
