Chicago’s 16-Inch Softball Returns To Public Parks After 10 Years

The video explores the history and revival of the 16-inch softball in Chicago, a unique variant of the sport that was invented in the city 134 years ago. The game, traditionally played without gloves, has seen a resurgence after years of decline due to cost and lack of interest. Notable figures like Michael Jordan have played the game, and a recent coed tournament allowed women to use gloves for safety. The event provided a much-needed social outlet post-pandemic.
