Without baseball, there'd have been no Fenway Park. Without football, there'd have been no artificial turf. A typical football game has about 5 touchdowns, a couple of field goals and fewer than 150 plays spread over 3 hours. Of those plays, perhaps 20 or 25 percent result in a gain or loss of more that 10 yards. Baseball has more scoring plays, more serious scoring threats and more meaningful action plays.
Baseball has no clock.
Yes, you were waiting for that. The comeback from three or more scores behind is far more common in baseball than football. The majority of players on a football field in any game are lost and unaccountable in the middle of pileups. Confusion hides a multitude of sins. Every baseball player's performance and contribution are measured and recorded in every game.
