About George Hancock

George Warren Hancock, at the time a reporter for Chicago Board of Trade, invented the game of softball in 1887. The first game was played, inside the Farragut Boat Club in Chicago. The first game of softball came from a football game between Yale and Harvard. When it was announced that Yale had won, Yale alumni, in excitement, threw a balled up boxing glove at a Harvard fan. The Harvard fan playfully swung at it as spectators looked on in interest.
