16-inch softball is a variant of softball, but using a bigger, squishy ball with no gloves or mitts on the fielders. Although it most closely resembles the original game as developed in Chicago in the 19th century by George Hancock, today it remains popular almost exclusively in Chicago and New Orleans but is also popular in Portland, Oregon, where mushball has had leagues since the 1960s, and Atlanta, Georgia. In 1980, Bill "Doc" Williams introduced blooperball to Nashville. Williams — a Chicago Cubs fan since 1945 — was very well known in Nashville softball circles at that time, thus making the debut of "big ball" to the Tennessee capital more successful than would otherwise have been the case. The sport saw its popularity in Music City wane by about 1985.
