National Industrial Softball League (NISL)
1944-45
National Softball League (NSL)
1946-1948
National Fastball League (NFL) 1949-1954
The following information was gleaned from a book, The
Zollner Piston Story by Rodger Nelson. This book was published in 1995 by
the Allen County Public Library Foundation of Fort Wayne, IN. The writer
Nelson, was publicity director and assistant A.D. of the Fort Wayne
Zollner Pistons, 1947-54. The NISL was in existence in 1944-45. The East
teams included Singer Sewing Machine, Elizabeth, NJ; Grumman Aircraft
Company, Bethpage, NY; Phelps-Dodge Company, Elizabeth, NJ; Walter Kidde
Company, Belleville, NJ. The West teams were Zollner Pistons, Fort Wayne,
IN; Hudson Motors, Detroit, MI; Weldon Tool Company, Cleveland, OH; Briggs
Mfg. Company, Detroit, MI; Jack & Heintz Company, Cleveland, OH;
Peereless Company, Rossville, GA. The NSL was in existence from 1946 thru 1948.
The name was then changed to the National Fastball League (NFL) from 1949
until disbanding after the 1954 season. From 1946 thru the 1949 season the
NSL/NFL declared a champion thru league play (1946) or a “best of seven”
series of games (1947 thru 1949) This of course was after the regular
season of league play had concluded. The NSL/NFL champion then played a
best of seven “World Series” against another strong league, the American
Softball League, based in the eastern part of the country. Some of the
teams in the NSL/NFL were the Zollner Pistons of Ft. Wayne-IN,
Briggs Beautyware of Detroit-MI, Dow Chemical of Midland-MI, 720 Athletic
Club from Columbus-OH, Joe Louis Punchers of Flint-MI and Dayfus Roofing
from Windsor-Ontario, Canada. These teams when divided played in the East
Division. Teams that played in the West Division include Metal Parts
Corporation of Racine-WI, State Farm Insurance of Bloomington-MI, The
Merchants of Aurora-IL (they eventually became the Aurora
Sealmasters), Slater Pen of Iowa City-IA, Pilots of Waukegan-IL, Rockets
of Rock Island-IL and an unknown team name from Milwaukee-WI. The league
didn’t always use the divisional format as noted below. Sometimes the
regular season standings decided the championship and sometimes they used
a one divisional format with a playoff system to determine the
championship game contestants.

1955 League disbands
* The 1953 NFL championship was not declared until 1954. In the 1953
playoff, Detroit Briggs defeated Zollner Pistons 7-1 in the first game of
a best of three. Pistons defeated Briggs 7-0 in the 2nd game. At this
point play was suspended as Detroit had qualified to play in the ASA World
Tournament & it was agreed that the teams would meet in Fort Wayne at the
start of the 1954 season and play the final and deciding game. On May 29,
1954 a four games series was held in which the 1st game would decide who
was the 1953 NFL champion. Detroit bested the Pistons, 2-1 and were the
1953 NFL champs. Detroit had started the series as Briggs, won an ASA
World Championship and then prior to game three had changed their name to
Bombers! A small consolation, the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons won the next three
exhibition games that weekend.

International Women's Pro Softball Association (IWPSA) 1976-80
The International Women's Professional Softball
Association (IWPSA) was founded in 1976 by former LPGA Tour member Janie
Blaylock, softball legend Joan Joyce and tennis icon Billie Jean King. The
original league featured 10 teams from cities across the nation, including
Connecticut Falcons, Buffalo Bisons, Chicago Ravens, Michigan
Travelers and Pennsylvania Liberties in the Eastern Division. The Western
Division was made up from the San Diego Sandpipers, San Jose Sunbirds,
Santa Ana Lionettes, Southern California Gems and the Phoenix/Arizona
Bird. The Bird started out as the Phoenix Bird then changed their name to
the Arizona Bird midway through the season. The St. Louis Hummers joined
the league in 1977 along with the Bakersfield Aggies. The
other two team expansion teams were the Edmonton Snowbirds and the
New York Golden Apples. In the IWPSA's first season, each team played a
120 game schedule that featured 60 double headers. Player contracts ranged
from $1,000 to $3,000 per year. The fledgling association survived four
seasons (including be sponsored by BIC International for the 1979 season) before lack of funds, high travel costs and inadequate facilities
ultimately led to its demise. The following decade proved to be extremely
prosperous for the sport of fastpitch softball in the United States
despite the absence of a professional league. I'd like to personally thank
Robert Swisko, who did much of the research o fins this information. He
sent the stuff to me and ask me to use it as I see fit. People like Robert
make it easy to compile information like this.
