"I remember, vividly, when the Super Ball was first released. It was the most magical thing I had ever seen. It also had a particular smell that I cannot forget. Jackie Frymier had the first one I had ever seen. He lived in a mansion on Morewood and we would play WW II games in his backyard. I was younger and always had to play the Nazi."
- Charlie H. (Pittsburgh, Pa.)
Founded in 2011, The International Sphaeralogical Society was created to celebrate the history and dynamism of the Super Ball®. Invented by chemist Norman Stingley in 1965 and sold by the Wham-O Manufacturing Co., the iconic toy has been the subject of fascination and play for almost half a century. The I.S.S. is dedicated to exploring and promoting the allure of this bounciest of balls.
