It's official

Baseball is quite different from football in so many ways. Average Teams can go from being a .500 team to championship with a few tweaks. Sometimes it's just a matter of the manager (also true of football at times) and sometimes it's merely a matter of just a few starting players having a really good season as opposed to a lousy season a year prior. We've seen this occur more than a few times. Baseball teams have gone generations without winning much at all. (Cubs and Red Socks) In football a player can go straight from college to being a huge star, but in baseball it's rare to see a first year player ever crack low minor league lineups much less make it to the major leagues to be big stars right out of HS or college for that matter. It happens, but you can count on one hand the youngsters who do it. 162 regular season games vs 16 for football..that's not even close in comparison. The way baseball is played has had minor changes in our lifetimes, but football is barely the same game it was just a generation ago and finally baseball has relatively few injuries as opposed to football despite a small, hard ball flying around at 100+ mph which is funny when you consider fans can be killed just watching baseball while nobody has ever been killed by an errant football going into the stands.
