On the National Senior Games website there is a roundup of events for the softball national championship competition in Columbus, Ohio. (Softball had to be split off from Pittsburgh July 7-18 because there weren't enough fields in Pittsburgh to handle the swell of teams competing).
The oldest player was 92-year-old Joanne Sogan of North Cantion, Ohio. Her team, the Ohio Tri Stars, had the highest average team age at 81.2 years.
And who says "softball is a girls sport?" Well, it is. Girls can play baseball, but they really show up for softball. Of the 94 teams, 73 were female.
