Does anyone actually play softball here?

Hi Xeron0719. No, I don't think it's odd for males to play softball! I think it's awesome. I'm a female and I spent most of my younger days playing softball. It's an awesome sport! I'm lefthanded and played virtually every position in my years of playing. I was particularly good in left field or shortstop but because I was left-handed, the coaches always wanted to put me on first base! lol. Made sense to me but I wanted more "action" than that! lol. I played the sport from the time I was about 6 until I was in my early 30's. I always dreamed of playing on an Olympic team but at that time, they didn't have a female Olympic softball team. It's great that they do now though! Unfortunately, I live in a place now that doesn't have a softball league. They have men's baseball but I just don't think there's enough interest to develop softball here in Argentina. I think it's amazing that it's more common there in Hong Kong to play softball instead of baseball in college. Is there a particular reason for that? What outfield position do you play? What do you like about the sport versus baseball? Very cool!

Hello xeron and welcome to the U.S. dont know the area your in, but here where i live we have a mens slow pitch league at the city park&rec and i have been playing every season for 15yrs now... i play short-stop and 3rd but been playing 3rd for most of that just recently started working on my game at short. its not odd at all for a male to play softball, whether slow-pitch or whatever the case...

i am a teenager in the usa who always plays softball. i play pretty much anywhere. im usually the utility chick but i enjoy the sport to play anywhere. i dont find it odd though for males to play softball i feel males can see the difference between baseball and see that it is as amusing as baseball is.
