Softball at the 2005 Southeast Asian Games $74.88 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Softball at the 2005 Southeast Asian Games took place in the Rosario Sports Complex in Pasig City, Metro Manila, Philippines from November 30, 2005 to December 4, 2005. Softball is a team game commonly played in the United States and other countries. It is a direct descendant of baseball although some key differences are that softballs are larger than baseballs and the pitches are thrown underhand rather than overhand. Softball is played on a smaller diamond than in baseball; a softball fields average distances from home plate to the center, left and right field fences are 220, 200 and 200 feet respectively (the corresponding baseball field average distances are 410, 325 and 325 feet). Despite the games name, the standard softball is not soft; in fact, it is just as hard as a baseball. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
