In the mid-seventies, English immigrants brought the traditional format of baseball to North America. In 1876, the National League was formed. Baseball is bat-ball sport which is played between 2 teams having 9 players each. The aim of baseball is in scoring runs by striking the bat on a thrown ball and to touch a series of 4 markers named bases which are arranged at bends of the 90 foot baseball diamond. English Colonial pioneers brought football to the Americas in the 17th century. After 200 years, football was initiated in American colleges. This game later was picked by various colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Rutgers and Columbia. In 1921, the American Professional Football Association (APFA) started and was eventually renamed the National Football League (NFL) in 1922. The object of this game is passing or running the football into the challenger’s end zone to score points. The ball is advanced by passing to teammates preceding the goal-line or kicking between goalposts for 3 points. In the US, both football and baseball have zealous fans asserting that they are the most popular sport in America. But, how does someone actually ascertain which sport is the number one sport in the America? There are various categories which could be considered while determining America’s number one pastime. Analyzing ticket costs, salaries, television revenue, venues, attendance, and average athletic prowess will help in presenting a case. These six factors help in deciding which sport is the most loved by Americans. Deciding whether football or baseball is the most popular sport in America can be done by counting the number of people attending the games. During year 2000, the average crowd to watch baseball was 30,125 while average crowd to watch football was 66,077. Considering the figures, it appears that twice the number of people watched football on average. The cost of a ticket for football was an average of $54.14 while for baseball it was only $20.12. Obviously baseball is more affordable than football and watching the live games creates plenty of fans generating lot of excitement for that particular sport. Looking further, the NFL fetches around $2.2 billion a year from television revenue while the MLB makes around $340 million. In a week, football is aired for only few days while baseball is aired almost every night. This leads up to the conclusion that football fetches more money through advertisement, indicating many more people are watching football than baseball. In the MLB, the normal salary for players is over $2 million a year while in NFL it is only $1.18 million a year. Another factor, venue, plays an important role as it influences the number of seats available for fans to watch each game live. The average stadium for baseball can easily hold 47,000 fans while the average football stadium can easily accommodate 70,000 fans. In conclusion, the evidence points toward the NFL being a more watched sport on a per game basis. However, baseball likely wins out because almost 10 times more games are played each year per team. Whatever sport is most popular, its minor league players need recognition. Baseball teams give awards and trophies to its team moms, coaches and players. Teams decide what should be engraved on each baseball award and trophy. Name of team and possibly the name of each player should be included. In case of exceptional trophies, title and distinctions should also be included. Team moms, coaches and players treasure these awards and trophies for years and years. Football trophies are usually made of plastic or metals, portraying scenes of players battling or kicking.

My top 10 reasons Baseball is better than football
10 – There are no cheerleaders or marching bands in baseball
9 – September pennant races – nothing like it in football
8 – At least baseball finally admits they've had a steroid problem.
7 – Weather. March to October? or September to February? easy choice.
6 – Baseball is better in person than on TV. Football is better on TV than in person.
5 – Stats. Baseball stats are huge, and infinitely more interesting, and more analyzed than football stats.
4 – Each ballpark has some unique features. Every gridiron is exactly, boringly, the same.
3 – Tie-breaker rules never decides whether or not team makes the playoffs. Ties are broken by playing each other.
2 – You can't run out the clock in baseball. You have to get that last out, or score that last run to win the game.
1 – Beauty – From the asthetics of the diamond, to the literature, and movies, more beautiful art has come from baseball than all other sports combined.

wich program he is for doing this ? beside a tablet ofc
football 4 me. the reason being, there is a lot more action in football than there is in baseball. don't get me wrong, a high fly ball is exciting but then again ive always had better personal experience w/ football games bc im from tx.
awesome stuff man,….ama practice hard to get to yo level!
I would say football. I played both in high school. I played football in college. And, I play amatuer baseball now.
There are many intracacies in baseball. But, the game is quite simple.
Football has way more parts, way more rules and way more plays.
Think of it like this. At any given time a player in the field of baseball only has a handful of options with or without the ball.
In football its almost endless.
HOLY CRAP! Comparing this to the original picture, they’re identical!
i use photoshop
A-W-E-S-O-M-E your works is very awesome! cool!!!! very good
awesome, keep up the good work!
Soccer is pretty cut and dry. You run and kick a ball. The skills it takes to play soccer does not compare to the many faceted skills of baseball. Baseball is very cerebral.
Both the Yankees and United are very high profile franchises and I'm sure the pressure would be great regardless of where one would start but baseball takes greater skills to succeed.
Futbol, the beautiful game, jogo bonito, calcio
basketball
NFL is more popular than the MLB
Probably because it's only once a week instead of just about every day.
The steroids scandal knocked baseball down a notch. Hopefully the thug epidemic in football doesn't do the same.
