Holy smokes is this a find! I suggest all of the coaches on this board start wearing pants like this first base coach!

This is really cool, thank you! The slingshot looks a lot like the submarine in MLB

This is great! I was my DD2 age and makes me wonder what the game will be like when she's mine.

Some names around the game still... I just talked briefly last week to the DH/part owner/coach for the Conn. Falcons and IWPS co-founder - Joan Joyce. She is currently the coach at FAU (just passed 900 wins).

Joan also played on the LPGA (joined after IWPS folded), played for USA woman's basketball in 64/65 & some semi-pro basketball, and even played and coached in the United States Volleyball Association. Amazing athletic career.

Margie Wright is the windmill pitcher.

REALLY cool find. Thank you!! I was just saying the other day that I wish I could see a step style pitcher throw and there it is. The slingshot is just an extra bonus and so cool to see it in action! Thank you CB!

All that said, the hair back then was something I hope not to see again anytime soon. Wowzers!

Another pretty cool find

This is from the 1965 World softball championship.
