Softball is nice

Softball is a sport that is very popular especially in United States.It is similarly like baseball and the rules also same like baseball.Baseball sometimes is referred to as hardball to differentiate baseball and softball.Softball was invented by George Hancock in Chicago,Illinois.The first softball game was played using a rolled up boxing gloves as a ball and a broomstick as a bat.Softball is played by two teams on a large field.There are four bases on the field (first base,second base,third base,and home plate) and the bases are arrange in a square.At the middle of the square is a pitcher's circle.The object of the game is to score more runs by batting the ball into play and run across the bases until the homeplate.There are nine players out on the field at one time.Each of these person have specific job.In the infield,there are pitcher,catcher,first base,second base,shortstop,third base,left field,center field and right field.I like to play softball because it is very interesting game.It will test our fitness and also our intelligence.We must think wisely before we do any action.Whatever happen, I love softball very much...!
