Softball is a fun game that people of all ages can participate in. Although
not everyone can have a top-notch coach to help teach them the basics,
learning how to play softball on your own is easy and enjoyable.
Softball, while similar to baseball, has many crucial differences, including its substitution
rules. In baseball, when a player is taken out of the game, he can't re-enter. This is partially
