22 September 2014 The Horsehide and the Pigskin Two of the most popular sports in America have to definitely be baseball and football. These two sports provide thousands of hours of entertainment for thousands of people. They give us something to root for every single season. Whether or not you’re a baseball fan or a football fan, you don’t have to know everything to realize they have a lot of difference, but also a lot of similarities, as well. Try looking at a baseball player then look at a football player, you can tell very quickly who does more physical training, exercise and lifting.

Not to mention the dizziness and nausea that comes with the endless drills, and too much of or too little water in your system. The big difference between running for baseball players is we don’t have to run with pounds of pads and equipment on us. Also in baseball it’s not so much endurance running as it is quick explosiveness burst of speed running the base-paths.

They are what make every sport on Gods green Earth worth playing for. Whether or not it is for a game saving turnover or a walk off homerun, nothing beats that spine chilling cheers coming from thousands of fans going nuts and the never ending echo of air horns sounding throughout the stadium. Even the fans who sit at home watching are cheering. Every miraculous sports highlight or replay that we are on would be indefinably pointless without the love from the fans. Although it seems like all fans are the same, they are different from every other fan in their own
