    From the chalked up dirt to the green grass in the outfield the softball field is where I always want to be. Other people see it as a sport, but it is much more than that. Softball to me is an escape and every time I step on that field I feel as if I belong. In school everyone is so quick to judge you making you feel like you don’t belong. However on the field you have a team that treats each other as a family. Everyone shares the same love for the game, which makes playing 10 times more fun.…

    Softball was started on Thanksgiving Day in 1887. It all began when a group of men gathered in a gym to hear the score of football game, after the score was announced and all bets were settled one of the men threw an old boxing glove at another man who hit it with a pole.

    The first baseball game was recorded in 1846 and is credited to Alexander Cartwright’s knickerbockers. The knickerbockers lost to the New York baseball club at the Elysian fields in New Jersey. Then came the establishment of the National association of Base Ball players in 1858 and the world was introduced to the first systematic baseball league. America prides itself on equality, perseverance, and a fair chance for everyone to make it. Baseball today is played by men and women of all ages. even though it has its scandals and woos, it still represents the best that america has to offer. When i was only 10 years old, there was a girl on my little league team. Not only was she one of the best players on the team, but a role model for the other girls that thought baseball was only a guy sport. This represents the american way, that it doesn't matter whether or not you are male or female, you still are able to give it a shot. In football, females are looked as cheerleaders, or people to fill the stands to watch the men play. If a women goes…

    Having good comprehension skills helps understanding the rules very easy. I was first introduced to softball at the age of seven. My initial step in playing softball was to learn the rules and imply them to the game. As a seven year old, I was introduced to some of the most important rules. A rule of safety I was told was a batter is not allowed to throw her bat after she hits the ball because it will be called an out. Throwing the bat is illegal because it can injure someone. When batting, the batter is allowed three strikes for a strikeout and four balls as a walk. If a batter gets hit by a pitch when the pitcher pitches it, she gets to go straight to first base. If the ball is hit outside of the white chalk, it is a foul. If the batter has two strikes and she decides to bunt the third strike and it goes foul, she will get called out. When sprinting to first base, if I round the base like I’m about to go to second base but don’t, and the first baseman has the ball, she can tag me out. Runners may overrun first base only, all other bases the runner may be tagged and called out if they are off the base. Runners cannot lead off a base; they must be on the base until the ball is released from the pitcher’s hand. After a fly ball has been caught the base runner must tag the occupied base before advancing to…

    America’s pastime and the tailed off version. The similarities and differences between baseball and softball. Baseball and softball are different and similar, the most obvious ones to the common eye are baseball fields are much larger and have a minimum of 300 feet and the players pitch overhand while in softball the field is a minimum of 200 feet and the players pitch underhand. The similarities entail the general concept of the game like “three strikes you’re out” and also while hitting the players both want to make contact with the ball and the bat the exact same way because they both want a nice level line drive rather than a pop-up.…

    Softball is a team sport that closely resembles baseball. A softball game is played between two teams. Each team can have multiple players on their roster; however, only nine players can be on the field at a time. The object of the game is to score the most runs. A run is scored when a player on the offensive (batting) team advances around all four bases, touching each in turn, without being "put out" by a player on the defensive (fielding) team. The game is played on a field that consists of a dirt infield and a grass outfield. The infield is square and is sometimes referred to as the diamond. There are four bases on the field; the starting and ending base is called “home plate.” The other three bases, going counter-clockwise, are first, second, and third base. A game is usually made up of seven innings, although, fewer or more innings may be played depending on the score. The game of softball is an easy one to gain knowledge of, all the player has to do is learn the rules, the mental game, and the positions.…
