Basketball is younger than your beer league sport. By four years. Sit with that. Softball was born in Chicago in 1887, which makes it older than basketball (1891), the first World Series (1903), the teddy bear (1902), the Model T (1908), the zipper (1913) and sliced bread (1928). The greatest thing since sliced bread turns out to be forty one years older than sliced bread. So the next time somebody calls Sunday slowpitch a casual little game, remind them they are looking at one of the oldest team sports in America, still filling USSSA complexes 139 years later. 🧢 What else do you think is younger than your sport? No googling. #usssaslowpitch #slowpitch #slowpitchsoftball #slowpitchlife #playusssa
