You might want to research and see if there's a league close to you and go to the games to see what you're getting into. I'd also monitor the league's website as you can usually tell how well organized they are by the information they post on their websites. Stats are less important than the scheduling and communication.
But hey, any chance to switch from softball to baseball is a win in my book.
Great pointers. I feel like a baby doing the opposite.
