I like baseball over softball. I played the game as a kid and thru high school. I like the strategy of the game. Baseball games can take a little longer. But if you call strikes the game will move much faster. I have found that in-between innings is what takes long. Most umpires do not make sure pitchers take the right number of warm-ups and allow them to lolly gag between innings. The time difference is usually based on not keeping things moving rather than game time. So what that softball games end quicker. I would rather do something I enjoy than do something I fall asleep doing. For me it is about love, not how much time. When you love something you will do not count the time you are doing it. The main thing I really dislike about baseball or softball is the weather. You can have your whole week set up with games and not work any of them. But I have done softball games that talk long because the girls could not field a routine grounder. I have done HS regional games in softball that looked like football scores and took almost two hours. So it really comes down to what you love the most.
