The life of people of "means" (e.g. those not at great risk) is going to be negatively affected to protect those most vulnerable...some people don't like that...And people who attend softball games often have contact with infants and 80 year olds.
I don't think there's widespread panic about people getting infected and dying from these venues. I think the reaction is to keep it from spreading to those populations quickly, because if it does we don't (nor does any country) have the healthcare resources to deal with it.
Here in Colorado we've got a state of emergency declared with all school-sponsored travel cancelled. But nothing from the softball leagues yet. My wife and kids sons had a planned trip to Disney World in 10 days; my daughter was headed to Peru on a school trip. Now it looks like everyone's going to be staying home with me, greatly interfering with my basketball watching over Spring Break.
