In baseball, fans catch foul balls. Football coaches walk across the field after the game and pretend to congratulate the opposing coach. Baseball managers head right for the beer. But Ruth never threw a woman out a window. Quarterbacks have to ask the crowd to quiet down.
Pitchers never do.
Baseball nicknames go on forever, because we feel we know so many players intimately. Football monikers run out fast. We just don't know that many of them as people. Baseball measures a gift for dailiness. Football has two weeks of hype before the Super Bowl.
