Goldilocks and the Wars of Football and Baseball
The piece weighs the AFL NFL clash, noting George Halas as Papa Bear and names like Billy Cannon and Charlie Flower. It argues on league battles, court rulings, and the Continental League, praising the AFL for professionalizing talent and education while critiquing baseball’s approach and the urge for big bonuses. It contrasts football's growth with baseball’s struggles and cites figures like William Shea Branch Rickey and Ford Frick. It ends with a nod to miners and a science note on heat below the earth.
