I love SB's rules though. I know baseball purists hate it, but there's 10 times the strategy in SB with DP/flex and re-entry rules, and all the different ways to construct a lineup between power and bunt/slap/speed. It's 100 times better game to watch - shorter, faster games and way more action. My kids laugh when they watch MLB ground balls and watch the dude pat his glove 3 times before throwing a runner out by 5 feet. My younger kid barely put the ball into the grass and just broke her HS single-season batting record because of her speed and ability to place bunts/slaps where it was nearly impossible to throw her out.

Love me some softball as well...for the reasons you mentioned above. We had the SEC tourney in COMO a few years back and I watched all but the final game...if my son hadn't come down with strep we'd have been there for that as well.
