You should choose based on what you'd enjoy doing.

I used to work both, but it became tiresome keeping all the rules changes and differences straight and I also didn't enjoy having scheduled softball games cannibalizing my baseball schedule, so I gave up softball years ago and haven't looked back. Others I know did the opposite (gave up baseball).

I don't think Irish was making fun of anyone for baseball taking longer. It sounded more like, "if you're picking a sport based on how long a game takes, take your lazy a$$ elsewhere."
