Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 264.3 Hz, 18 cents sharp of C4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A softball is bigger than a baseball, about 30 centimeters (12 inches) around, and in spite of its name it is not soft. The game was first played indoors in Chicago in 1887, and today it is played all over the world.
In softball the pitcher throws underhand, swinging the arm down and forward past the hip. Tap it and it is pitched just like that: a swing back and through, then a high, slow arc with a little backspin. It lands with a soft thud, hardly bounces, and a gentler toss brings it back.
