Baseball is the only major sport that appears backward in a mirror
Baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life. Football begins in the fall, when everything's dying.
In football the object is to march into enemy territory and cross his goal. In baseball the object is to go home.
Baseball is a nineteenth-century pastoral game. Football is a twentieth-century technological struggle.
Do you know the nicest thing about looking at pictures of a 1950's baseball park? The only people wearing baseball caps are the players.
Baseball is the only major sport that appears backwards in a mirror.
If two baseball players from the same hometown, on different teams, receive the same uniform number, it is not ironic. It is a coincidence. If Barry Bonds attains lifetime statistics identical to his father's, it will not be ironic. It will be a coincidence.
In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as 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 his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line. In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! I hope I'll be safe at home!
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! - I hope I'll be safe at home!

The word bipartisan means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out
Cop didn't see it, I didn't do it!
Marry an orphan: you'll never have to spend boring holidays with the in-laws (at most an occasional visit to the cemetery)
