Talk:Softball
Should softball gets its own page, since it is a derivative sport? Softball at the olympics? National Pro Fastpitch or other (former) professional leagues? --MichaelEng 09:43, 13 September 2006 (EDT)
At least its own page, like cricket or rounders. I don't think we should get too involved with softball. What do others think? - --Mischa 10:01, 13 September 2006 (EDT)
I'm with Mischa. We should mention softball as a closely related sport but shouldn't go any further with it. Leave that for a softball website. --Roger 12:10, 13 September 2006 (EDT)
I put this in the Glossary category because that's where cricket was placed. I wonder if we should have a category with a name like "Variations on Baseball" or "Antecedents and Descendants of Baseball" which would include town ball, cricket, rounders, softball, kick ball, wiffle ball, tee ball, etc... Thoughts? Kinston eagle 18:19, 10 January 2011 (EST)
I agree it makes sense to have a subcategory under Glossary for such games. Thanks for getting to softball - that's been one of the 10 most wanted for a while. Maybe "Other Ball and Bat Games"? - --Mischa 09:06, 11 January 2011 (EST)
