Invented (1888) in Chicago as an indoor game, it was at various times called indoor baseball, mush ball, playground ball, kitten ball, and, because it was also played by women, ladies'  equipment to the institutional markets, but also as a dominant supplier and installer of sports equipment in their home state of California."

"Tomark has augmented its product line with more than 300 Collegiate Pacific items for the coming season, and the Collegiate Pacific family of catalogs have inherited a similar quantity of new products from Tomark. We are excited to introduce this enhanced line-up to our respective customer bases - totaling 75,000 in the aggregate - and the more than 200,000 prospects in the institutional and team sports marketplace."
