Concept information
Preferred term
softball
Definition
- Though it lacks the cultural cachet of its older, more venerable cousin, baseball, softball continues to be played by a diverse array of people in both urban and rural settings. Millions of working-class males, seniors, and women play in softball leagues during the warmer months, and the sport has even managed to assume an interesting place within the lesbian culture.
