16" Softball


This might be the greatest sport ever. It makes me even happier that the only people who play it or know about it are people from Chicago. There are those who may be stupid enough to think this is an easy game for amateurs, but in reality there is just as much knowledge, strength, and agility needed to play softball as there is to play baseball. Even though the pitch comes in slower it just means that as a fielder you have many more balls hit your way. The batter has a very troublesome job also, it may be easy to hit, but there is no where to hit the ball. The ball usually pops up in the air or dribbles on the ground. If you can soft touch it over the infielders heads than you will do real well, but there are not many who can pull that off.
I love softball and I wish they had an indoor league.
