It was his good
buddy Babe Ruth who originally suggested to Keith Brewer that he create a pickup softball
game and that he call it ZenBall. Within a few years Keith and his
brothers Harpo & Chico started the game. Harpo later went on to umpire Zenball
because of his expert ability to signal the call. After his death, in the late 60s,
no replacement umpire could be found...much to the dismay of George Smith.
