Minnesota Softball is the statewide governing body of amateur softball in Minnesota and an affiliate of USA Softball. Since 1916, Minnesota Softball (formerly known as Minnesota Amateur Softball Association) has been providing volunteer services for the development and promotion of youth and adult softball in Minnesota. It was not until 1952 that Minnesota officially joined the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) and Mr. Einar Nelson of the Minneapolis Park Board was named Commissioner. ASA has since rebranded to USA Softball and is the national governing body of softball in the United States.
