George Carlin on the differences between baseball and American football:
Baseball is a 19th century pastoral game; football is a 20th century technological struggle. Baseball is played on a diamond, in a park, the baseball park; football is played on a gridiron in a stadium, sometimes called Soldier Field or War Memorial Stadium; baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life; football begins in the fall, when everything is dying. In football you wear a helmet; in baseball you wear a cap.Sheila has the video clip.
