ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Softball

Softball is a game that you play outside on a big field with your friends. The game is kind of like baseball, but the ball is bigger and softer, so it doesn't hurt as much if it hits you.

To play, one person throws the ball to another person, who tries to hit it with a special stick called a bat. If you hit the ball, you run around four different bases on the field to try to score a point for your team.

There are two teams in softball, and each team takes turns hitting and playing in the field. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!

Softball is a great way to get exercise, have fun with your friends, and learn how to work together as a team.
