8. The World Series has rabid home fans cheering madly for their team. The Super Bowl has men in suits who dont even know what two teams are playing.
13. 80 degrees and a cold beer beats 20 degrees and cold extremities.
16. Casey at the Bat vs. ?????.
17. Field of Dreams vs. Any Given Sunday. Not even close.
20. Only eight teams can make the cut in the Major League playoffs.
21. Football is communist, baseball is free market. Nobody gets dropped from a baseball roster because they hurt a teams salary cap.
22. Baseball team strategies are determined not only by their personnel, but the dimensions of their ball park.
23. The rules are constantly changing in football (Check out what constituted holding and pass interference in the 1970s.) Baseballs rules are perfect. There is no need to change them.
25. One of the biggest thrills for a fan in baseball is when a big leaguer flips the ball into the stands after the inning. If he did that in the NFL, hed get fined.
27. Deion Sanders may have played baseball, but there is no way in hell they were ever going to let him announce it after he retired. Football did.
28. Baseball has Peter Gammons. Football has Mel Kiper, Jr.
29. Baseball has Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Football has whatever flash in the pan pop band plays at halftime of the first game.
31. People watch the World Series to see who wins. People watch the Super Bowl to see the commercials.
32. Centerfield by John Fogerty vs. ??????.
34. Quick, what happened in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series? Ok, quick, what happened in the third quarter of the 1986 Super Bowl?
37. Terrell Owens drops a lot of easy catches, is a clubhouse cancer, and still got a huge contract from the Bills. They have a term for baseball players who are a clubhouse cancer and cant catch the ball: bush leaguers.
40. The Eagles are a very good team. The Phillies are World Fucking Champions!
