About it
A softball is bigger than a baseball, about 30 centimeters (12 inches) around, and in spite of its name it is not soft. The game was first played indoors in Chicago in 1887, and today it is played all over the world.
In softball the pitcher throws underhand, swinging the arm down and forward past the hip. Tap it and it is pitched just like that: a swing back and through, then a high, slow arc with a little backspin. It lands with a soft thud, hardly bounces, and a gentler toss brings it back.
