    Football...

    is played in a stadium. War Memorial Stadium.

    Baseball is played in a park.

    In football, you wear a helmet.

    In baseball, you wear a cap.

    RIP George. I hope you're kicking back with Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce, riffing on why Heaven needs pearly gates anyway.
