Home run with a baseball – Going “Yard.”

Touchdown with a football – taking it (the “rock”) to the “house.”

A couple questions

• Where are the picket fences, the riding mower, the crabgrass, the garage. the crazy aunt in the basement –  in these sports metaphors?
• If I go the the “Yard House” for beers, am I going to be hit by someone’s balls?  Am I going to be scored upon?
