Baseball and Football

Richard H. Williams
[Rwill4515@aol.com]

  I
Baseball is played in
a park, in the spring; players
wear caps; who is up?

  II
In baseball errors
occur; sacrifices are
made, no time limit

  III
The manager wears
the same uniform as the
players; runs are scored

  IV
The defensive team
puts the ball in play; baseball --
season of new life

  I
Football is played on
a gridiron; it begins
in the fall; is timed

  II
They wear a helmet
they receive a penalty
played in bad weather

  III
Quarterback throws long
bombs; football has two minute
warnings; sudden death

  IV
Football has clipping,
spearing, piling on, hitting,
and personal fouls
