<span style="color: #151515; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//I enjoy comparing baseball and football://

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//Baseball is a 19th century pastoral game.// //Football is a 20th century new world order paramilitary power struggle.//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//Baseball is played in a park... the baseball park.// //Football is played in a stadium, sometimes called Soldier Field or War Memorial Stadium.//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//The baseball field is a diamond.// //The football field is a gridiron.//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//Baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life.// //Football begins in the fall, when everything is dying.//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//In football, you wear a helmet.// //In baseball, you wear a cap!//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//Football is concerned with downs. What down is it?// //Baseball is concerned with ups. Who's up? Are you up? He's up! I'm up!!//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//In football, you get a penalty.// //In baseball, you make an error... oops!//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//In football, the specialist comes on to kick something.// //In baseball, the specialist comes in to relieve somebody.//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//Football has tackling, clipping, spearing, piling on, personal fouls, late hitting, sacking, and unnecessary roughness.// //Baseball has. . . the sacrifice.//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//Football is played in any kind of weather -- rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog, major catastrophe, can't see,// //don't know if there's a game going on, mud on the field, can't read the uniforms, can't read the yard markers --// //doesn't matter, the struggle will continue.// //In baseball, if it rains, we don't go out to play.//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//Baseball has the seventh inning stretch.// //Football has the two minute warning.//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//And, of course, the objectives of the games are also completely different....//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//In football, the object is for the quarterback, sometimes called the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack which may consist of power plays designed to punch holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">//In baseball, the object is to get home.... to be safe at home.//
