		Softball is a direct descendant of baseball, which is sometimes referred to as hardball to distinguish it from softball, but differs from it in several ways (see Comparison of baseball and softball).
		Softball is a team sport in which a ball, eleven to twelve inches (28 to 30.5 centimeters) in circumference, 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 (usually wooden or metal).
		In Chicago, where softball was invented, it remains traditional to play with a ball 16 inches in circumference, with other attributes of the ball remaining the same.

		Softball bats may not be more than 34 in (86.4 cm) long nor more than 38 oz (1077.3 g) and must meet specific performance standards.
		The bases are 60 ft (18.3 m) apart in fast-pitch and modified-pitch softball, 65 ft (19.8 m) in slow-pitch, and 70 to 90 ft (21.3 to 27.4 m) in men’s majors competition.
		In slow-pitch the ball is released at a moderate speed and delivered with perceptible arc, reaching a height of at least 6 ft (1.8 m) from the ground while not exceeding a maximum height of 12 ft (3.7 m) from the ground (10 ft, or 3.1 m, in some leagues).
