These stamps showcase five recreational sports played by millions from the serious competitor to the amateur.
Softball was invented in 1887 in Chicago, credited to George Hancock, to be played as an indoor variation of baseball. The ball used was softer than a baseball. A tournament held at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair spurred interest in the game. The Amateur Softball Association of America would be founded in the same year.
Softball today played with variation of Fast-pitch, slow-pitch and modified has gone beyond the realm of just being a recreational sport. Softball made it's Olympic debut in 1996 Atlanta.
Softball is played in over 100 countries around the world. The European Softball Federation was formed in 1976
