How did the game of softball get started?
Softball was created by George Hancock 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 Hancock’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!
