While going through Wikipedia pages, I found out that volleyball was invented on this day (9 February) in 1895 in Massachusets by William G. Morgan. I thought some of you may find this info interesting.
In 1895 William G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education director in Holyoke, Massachusetts, US, invented a game called Mintonette, which evolved into volleyball.

Thank you Mr. Morgan for inventing such a great game
