When the Amateur Softball Association of America showed up at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, I don't know if they knew just how aggressive softball would become today. And when the International Softball Federation came on the scene, I don't know if they could have anticipated how competitive fast-pitch softball would look by 2016.The game continues to get better as players perfect the art of practice, nutrition, and conditioning.
