Japan won the last Olympic softball event. That was the only time the USA did not win the gold medal.

Both Volleyball and Softball are closed compounds

You don't need to know how to play softball to run in the Olympics. If you're asking about being a pinch runner then you're out of luck because they no longer have softball in the Olympics.

Since baseball became an Olympic sport in the 1992 Olympics, Cuba has won three gold medals and the United States has won one.

Tennis was dropped after the 1924 Olympics mainly because the adminstrators could not agree on the issue of defining what an amateur was and what a professional was. Back in those days on amateurs were allowed to participate in the Olympics. Tennis returned as a medal sport in the Olympics at the 1988 Games in Seoul.

In Pony League, the distance from the rubber to the back of home plate is 54 feet. In Little League it is 46 feet and in high school (as well as college & pro) it is 60' 6".

I assume that you mean the Jamestown Settlement of 1607. Any number of period instruments could have been played there, but the colonists certainly would not have taken large instruments on the long, arduous sea voyage. More likely small instruments, such as violins, lutes and small wind instruments were played. A trumpet mouthpiece and part of a flute (recorder type) was found during one of the archeological digs. However, the trumpet of the time was not like today's trumpet. It had no valves, and was not always used for music. In such a setting it was more likely used as bugles were used in the military - a signaling device.

Softball originated in Chicago on Thanksgiving Day, 1887. A group of about twenty young men had gathered in the gymnasium of the Farragut Boat Club in order to hear the outcome of the Harvard-Yale football game. After Yale's victory was announced and bets were paid off, a man picked up a stray boxing glove and threw it at someone, who hit it with a broom. George Hancock, usually considered the inventor of softball, shouted, "Let's play ball!" He tied the boxing glove so that it resembled a ball, chalked out a diamond on the floor (smaller dimensions than those of a baseball field in order to fit the gym) and broke off a broom handle to serve as a bat. What proceeded was an odd, smaller version of baseball. That game is now, 111 years later, known as the first softball game. Softball may have seen its death on the day of its birth if Hancock had not been so fascinated by it. In one week, he created an oversized ball and an undersized rubber-tipped bat and went back to the gym to paint permanent white foul lines on the floor. After he wrote new rules and named the sport indoor baseball, a more organized, yet still new, game was played. Its popularity was immediate.

it's a baseball or softball bat maybe you could google it and look at images

Major League Baseball does not recognize radar speeds as an official statistic. It is widely accepted that the ability to clock a fastball with a radar gun is an unexact science. With that said Dwight Gooden was famous for his 98 mph fastball. It is possible that he did throw on occasion a ball slightly faster than this.

Tachyon is the fastest thing ever because its slowest velocity is the speed of light!

Light is the fastest thing that can be seen.
