Softball as an Obsession in Missouri

Lawson, Missouri

Story Narrative:

How did sports bring people together in your community?

"I grew up down in Springfield, Missouri, back in the '50s and early '60s, but on into the '70s when I was an adult, they . . . softball became just an obsession with many people, especially both fast pitch and slow pitch, but I mean, it was a major form of our entertainment at the time and probably still is. I don't know, I don't live down there anymore, but yeah, it was definitely part of the social pattern down there, the softball."
