baseball/softball

History of baseball
Baseball is a team sport, a bat-and-ball game, in which a hard ball is thrown by a defensive player called a pitcher, and an offensive player called a batter attempts to hit it with a tapered, cylindrical, smooth stick called a bat. The ball itself is also called a baseball. Scoring is accomplished by the batter running and touching a series of four markers on the ground called bases. Baseball is sometimes called hardball to differentiate it from the closely related sport of softball and other similar games. Baseball is thought to be a direct descendant of cricket, rounders, and town ball though the game's true origins are uncertain. The earliest known mention of the sport is in a 1791 Pittsfield, Massachusetts town-bylaw banning the playing of it within 80 yards of the town meeting house.

In the United States, baseball has long been regarded as the unofficial national pastime; the total attendance for Major League games is roughly equal to that of all other American professional team sports combined. Although three of the four most popular sports in North America are ball games (baseball, basketball and American football), baseball's popularity grew so great that the word "ballgame" in the United States almost always refers to a game of baseball, and "ballpark" to a baseball field.

History of softball
Softball is a team sport in which a ball is thrown by a player called a pitcher and hit by an offensive player called a batter with a round, smooth stick called a bat. The ball itself is also called a softball. Scoring is accomplished by the batter running and touching a series of four markers on the ground called bases. Softball is a direct descendant of baseball (sometimes referred to as hardball to differentiate the two), but differs from it in several ways. The ball is always pitched (thrown to the batter) underarm while in baseball the ball may be released in any position and is usually thrown overarm or sidearm. The ball is larger, less dense, and heavier than a baseball. The playing field is normally smaller. The game is seven innings long, as opposed to nine in baseball.

Softball is the most popular participant sport in the United States. An estimated 56 million Americans will play at least one game of softball during a year. The first version of softball was invented in Chicago, Illinois in 1887 by George Hancock, a reporter for the Chicago Board of Trade, as a winter version of baseball. The softball name dates from 1926 (in addition to indoor baseball, kitten ball, and diamond ball, names for the game included mush ball, and pumpkin ball). Standard rules were agreed on only after the formation of the Amateur Softball Association in 1933.

golf

History of golf
While many Scots firmly maintain that golf evolved from a family of stick-and-ball games widely practiced throughout the British Isles during the Middle Ages, considerable evidence suggests that the game derived from stick-and-ball games that were played in France and Germany.  Part of that evidence is the etymology of the word "golf". "Golf" derives from the Old Scots terms "golve" or "goff," which evolved from the medieval Dutch term "kolf." The medieval Dutch term "kolf" meant "club," and the Dutch were playing games at least by the 14th Century in which balls were struck by sticks that were curved at the bottom. The Dutch and Scots were trading partners, and the fact that the word "golf" evolved after being transported by the Dutch to the Scots lends credence to the idea that the game itself may have been adapted by the Scots from the earlier Dutch game.

tennis
The girls' varsity tennis team is looking forward to a great season. We have 12 girls returning from last year's team and 12 girls playing for the first time this year. Our enthusiasm and energy is high and our skills and love for the game are improving daily. Our matches this year will take us up to the Canadian border in Newport, over to Middlebury in the west, with many places in between. Come and check out a match and experience the magic of the game of tennis.

A perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquility. ~Billie Jean King

It's difficult for most people to imagine the creative process in tennis. Seemingly it's just an athletic matter of hitting the ball consistently well within the boundaries of the court. That analysis is just as specious as thinking that the difficulty in portraying King Lear on stage is learning all the lines. ~Virginia Wade
