Softball, The Improved Indoor Baseball
Softball, like its cousin baseball, is a very popular team sport in the United States. It was originally intended to be a way for baseball players to keep in practice during the winter months. For a long time, it was referred to as Indoor Baseball.
Softball bats are used by the batter and are made of metal, wood or composite materials (carbon fiber, etc.). Sizes may vary. In fast pitch softball, wooden bats are not allowed.
