Do you know much about softball?
I played softball as a young girl and I know it was invented in 1887 in Chicago. Back then, it was played indoors. Do you or did you play?
I played a few times but just at gym when I was in school.  Athletics were not my thing.
I played shortstop as a kid. It's actually just a variant of baseball with a softer ball on a smaller field. 
I didn't realize the field was smaller.  I knew the ball was bigger though.  Did you enjoy it?
I loved playing as I was a very competitive kid and my Dad was always the coach. 
Aw I bet that was neat having your Dad as the coach.  Unfortunately for  my dad, I was into ballet.  He really couldn't help there LOL!
HAHA No most Dads are probably not very helpful with their daughter's ballet!
