🥎 Featured Day: Softball Birthday (1887)
On November 24, 1887, softball was born in Chicago at the Farragut Boat Club. What started as an impromptu indoor game — a boxing glove pitched across the gym and hit with a stick — quickly evolved into a brand-new sport. George Hancock’s shout of “Let’s play ball!” marks the official beginning of softball as we know it today.
Softball has since grown into a worldwide favorite, played by kids, high-school teams, college athletes, and Olympians.
Perfect day to celebrate team spirit, coaching, drills, and FUN!
