From Wiki, for what it's worth:

The first version of softball was invented in Chicago, Illinois, on Thanksgiving Day, 1887 by George Hancock and Bakir Dzananovic as a winter version of baseball. It was intended to be a way for baseball players to keep in practice during the winter. At the time, the sport was called "Indoor Baseball."
