The reason I work softball is you can make much more money in softball; but I've done both up to 18U American Legion baseball and a dabble in wood bats for a few games.

Per game, you make more money in a single game of little ball than softball, if you care to stand around while a pitcher scratches himself for 20 mins in between trying to pick off a runner he couldnt pick off if his life depended on it. The game is 3 hours long. I could do around 2 softball games in that time, so that pretty much evens weight it in favor of a single game of legion ball. But i can do 12 games of softball on a weekend or a double header of little ball - thus little ball went by the way side for me long ago. Baseball is my first love of sports and I still watch MLB and various other games of BB and enjoy it.

As an official, the field is larger, the game longer and more drawn out, and slower. So yes, it is much more painful to work than a nice fast paced game of softball. Little league is barely a sport though and you couldnt drag me on that field. But a good game of baseball definitely does have its challenges...

Money isnt close though, softball is much more profitable.
