There are two types of softball: in the most common, slow-pitch softball, the ball, sometimes larger than the standard 12 in, must arch on its path to the batter, 10 players make up a team. Softball is a variant of baseball played with a larger ball on a smaller field. It was invented in 1887 in Chicago as an indoor game. It was at various times called indoor baseball, mush ball, playground, softbund ball, kitten ball, and, because it was also played by women, ladies’ baseball. The name softball was given to the game in 1926. A tournament (1933) at the Chicago World’s Fair spurred interest in the game.

HISTORY OF BASEBALL IN CANADA

The history of baseball inCanada dates to the 1830s.

The first baseball game recorded in Canada was played inBeachville, Ontario on June 4,1838 (before the purported codification of the game byAbner Doubleday). Many Canadians, including the staff of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in St. Marys, Ontario, claim that this was the first documented game of modern baseball, although there appears to be no evidence that the rules used in this game were codified and adopted in other regions. The first documented evidence of a base ball game in Canada comes from a letter published in Sporting Lifemagazine in 1886, a letter by Dr. Adam E. Ford of Denver, Colorado, formerly of St. Marys, Ontario and Beachville, Ontario, about a game 48 years earlier in Beachville on June 4, 1838 — Militia Muster Day.

The London Tecumsehs of London, Ontario were charter members of the International Association and won its first championship in 1877, beating the Pittsburgh Alleghenies.

While baseball is widely played in Canada, the American major leagues did not include a Canadian team until 1969, when the Montreal Expos joined the National League (the London Tecumsehs were refused admission to the National League in 1877 because they refused to stop playing exhibition games against local teams). In 2004, MLB decided to move the Expos to Washington, DC.

In 1977, the Toronto Blue Jays joined the American League. They won the World Series in 1992 and 1993.

Canada has hosted teams in various minor leagues since these wer first created in the last decades of the 19th Century. While there is currently only one Canada-based team remaining in Organized Baseball - the Vancouver Canadians of the Class-A Northwest League, this was not always the case. The Montreal Royals and Toronto Maple Leafs were pillar franchises of the International League until the 1960s, and the cities of Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver have all hosted AAA franchises until recent years, while many more Canadian cities were in leagues of lower classifications. Certain leagues, such as the Provincial League in the 1940s and 1950s, were entirely made-up of Canadian teams. The Provincial League in fact had period when it stood outside of organized baseball, but still attracted star players who were kept out of the Major Leagues for one reason or another, as well as prospects who would later play in the majors.

In 2003 an attempt to create the Canadian Baseball League was launched, but the league folded halfway through its first season.
