George Hancock (softball)
George Hancock, at the time a reporter for Chicago Board of Trade, invented the game of softball in 1887. The first game was played indoors, inside the Farragut Boat Club in Chicago.〔The Farragut Boat Club is mentioned in a news item that appeared later. See: 〕 Someone found a boxing glove and threw it and someone else hit it with a stick. George Hancock shouted, "Let's play ball", and tied the boxing glove into the shape of a ball. The men chalked a diamond shape onto the floor and broke a broom handle to serve as a bat. This is credited as the first softball game which was played on Thanksgiving Day November 24, 1887 after a Harvard-Yale football game that had been followed by telegraph.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Softball )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of Softball )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ivy League Sports ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harvard-Yale Football "The Game": History )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hancock, George - World of Sports Science )〕
Hancock's original game of indoor baseball quickly caught on in popularity, becoming international with the formation of a league in Toronto. That year, 1887, was also the premiere publication of the ''Indoor Baseball Guide''. This was the first nationally distributed publication on the new game and it lasted a decade. In the spring of 1888, Hancock's game moved outdoors. It was played on a small diamond and called indoor-outdoor. Due to the sport's mass appeal, Hancock published his first set of indoor-outdoor rules in 1889.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Softball )〕
