For my American Studies/Baseball fan friends out there

Alright, so I'm wathing the Football game this evening. And they have a special interview with the commissioner of the NFL. Here's the quote as I remember it:

Interviewer: So, I hear that the players are also contributing [to the Katrina relief fund]?
NFL Commissioner: Yes. The players have really stepped up to the plate. We've raised over a million dollars already.

So, what really bothers me about this:

Its during the FOOTBALL game, the FOOTBALL league commissioner, talking about FOOTBALL players. AND HE MAKES A BASEBALL METAPHOR!!!

Is anyone else bothered by this?
