Cricket doesn't for the same reason.
They both use a small, hard ball that can travel at around 100mph. Not the best idea if you can't see where it's going.

The infield in the baseball pitch is basically mud. When the mud gets wet, the field is much more hard to run on. A professional soccer game is normally covered in turf, which has no effect against rain.

the main reason is because of the infield ( the area were all the bases are, pitcher etc..
if this area is wet, then its extremely hard to field the ball and the game is effected to a big degree...
thats why when is rains they cover the infield with as special tarp which keeps it dry, with hope that the rain might stop and game can resume.
