I think your site is great and I certainly appreciate the history of football and vintage football collecting.
I think the answer to your question is that there is something -- albeit hard to define -- about baseball that captures our imaginations disproportionate to other sports. Baseball just lends itself to thought, analysis, statistics, and nostalgia in ways that, for instance, leads to far more books being written about it than other sports. We compare players across generations more easily in baseball, and that probably has something to do with it. As does the nature of the game itself, with a more relaxed pace that invites more thought during the games themselves than the immediacy and fleeting fun of football, basketball, and hockey.
