The founders and pioneers who had the vision to begin softball are honored here along with the greats who played in the golden age of the sport. When there was no TV, 16" Softball was the local entertainment for Chicagoans as they rooted and wagered on their local teams. Softball's first national championship (14" ball) was played in 1933 during the World's Fair in Chicago. In the 1930's and 1940's, fans paid to see games that were played at night in the professional windy city league. The games usually followed the popular ladies' games. |
