Chicago Ravens Softball women's professional softball shirt - Dalatshirt

THE STORY 16-inch softball's roots in Chicago are older than Old Style. Also called clincher, cabbageball, blooperball or Chicago ball, this sport goes all the way back to the 19th century. The earliest known game was played at the Farragut Boat Club on the south side of Chicago on Thanksgiving Day in 1887 where the ball was a wrapped up boxing glove and the bat was a broom.
