I started at the HS level with basketball in 1987. I didn't work my first HS baseball game until 1992 (although I umpired in 1983 on as a teen working youth games) and football in 1994.
It's hard for me to say one sport is harder or easier than the others. They're so different.
I do think it was easier for me to transition into football than it is for someone who started in baseball. I'm used to a whistle, I'm used to making calls on the move, and I'm used to the whole notion of advantage/disadvantage that is pretty foreign to baseball, where things are considerably more black and white.
Expect that you'll feel like a fish out of water for a few years. It's OK. The coaches and players, for the most part, won't even notice.
