Softball is a recreational team sport played with a softball and often played by two teams of nine players. It is one of the most widely played sports in the world, especially in America.
The softball was first seen in 1887 when students used it at Harvard University. The Boston Red Sox was the first professional baseball team to adopt it around 1912. Its popularity increased during World War I when U.S soldiers modified it for military bases as a makeshift baseball and used inflated pig bladders as balls and using a broomstick handle as bats.
The game has grown from its early days with some modifications to improve safety, such as replacing glass balls with harder rubber or plastic balls that don’t shatter on impact.
Here are some inspiring softball quotes from various sources to keep you empowered and honor this amazing sports game.
