Facts:

"Baseball & Football" is considered one of George Carlin's signature routines along with "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" and "A Place For My Stuff". (Stavro Arrgolus)

The words below are the original 'working' version of this bit that appear on the 1975 'An Evening With Wally Londo' album. Later versions are more creatively embellished. Also, the references to Woody Hayes and Walter Allston which date the routine terribly were removed. (Stavro Arrgolus)

Song Lyrics:

Baseball and Football..

Baseball is pastoral
Football is technological

Baseball is played in a park
Football is played in a stadium

Baseball...has no time limit
We don't know when it's gonna happen
Football is rigidly timed
And it will end if we have to even go to sudden death

Baseball has the bunt
Football has the punt

Baseball's object is to go home...I'm going home!
In football, we're down in enemy territory
Reaching for the end zone

In football we have the block, the clip, the kick, the blitz, the bomb,
The offense, the defense
In baseball, we have the sacrifice

And in baseball, you make an error
In football, you pay a penalty

Woody Hayes wears a baseball hat during the football game
Can you imagine if Walter Allston wore a football helmet
during a baseball game? They would truck him away, man.
"Get him outta the dugout, man. Check his calendar."
(Stavro Arrgolus)
