Probably not the sole answer, but I’m sure this plays a part. Football is a times game. You get 60 minutes than the game is over. Baseball doesn’t have a time limit. If it’s raining, it can be really hard to throw strikes, to see the ball and to get outs so the game could go on and on and on because regardless how long it lasts, the game still needs to go 9 innings.
