Meanings
- uncountableThe game of softball.
We called it "kittenball" in those days. For what reason I never thought to ask and still have not discovered. But it was softball, the twelve inch variety with the fast, underhand pitch.

Another sport, kittenball, also called diamond ball, was played more often than baseball because the games were 7 innings long. Kittenball also required less equipment therefore it was cheaper to field a team.
2004, Peggy Sanders, The Civilian Conservation Corps: In and Around the Black Hills, page 35
