Of 'course they do. Just like a Baseball catcher they have to be protected from the runners,ball,and the bat. If they don't wear equipment then they will get really hurt. It is a rule for them to wear them. It's safe.
You should look for good adjustable straps especially on the chest protector. You want the top part of you chest protector to reach the base of your neck. Another thing to look for is a comfortable helmet that you can see out of. The bars on the helmet should not cover your view of the ball. The shin guards should cover just to the top of your knee. (When you put shin guards on the buckles go on the outside)
baseball pants have two back pockets and a belt loop, softball pants have one or no back pockets, and have a string inside to tighten the waist or no string. Softball pants do NOT have a belt loop
No its not. In baseball you wear longs tight pants and in softball you wear shorts.

no, thethe gravity of a baseball is bigger than a softball's. so baseball has more friction than softball. hence, if you hit both of them from the same speed ,baseball will go further than softball.
softball has a bigger ball and despite its name, the official softball is the same hard as a baseball also, the ball is pitched underarm in softball
No there is not difference in the stitches of a baseball and softball. The softball is just larger, but the stitches are the same.
They are practically the same. I've played both, the only difference is the pitching, the size of the ball, the size of the bats, and if you are playing for leagues or school then boys play baseball and girls play softball.
The baseball would have the same momentum as the softball if the baseball was moving twice as fast as the softball. Momentum is calculated as mass multiplied by velocity, so to have the same momentum, the lighter baseball would need to move faster than the heavier softball.
same as baseball but with a bigger ball
