I like the baseball rule for baseball games. There is a base running strategy to not running into a tag and making them either chase you or take the force at 1B.

I agree, and feel softball should change to match. I can't see WHY it was added in the first place.

I do a lot of softball, and I never liked that "BR can't retreat" rule. (In ASA, runners return TOI, by the way.) But there's also a rule that a BR who takes off her helmet is out, but forced runners remain forced.
Aside from the obvious things, softball treats many, many plays differently. Obstruction, nullifying runs, what can and can't be appealed, awarding of bases, runners hit by batted ball, what constitutes a force on appeal, no last time by, BOO; it goes on and on. There are also some softball plays—right in the casebook—in which the offense benefits because of deliberate interference by a BR or runner.
