I’ve never stepped on an artificial playing surface, but I noticed last night that players had on what appeared to be normal metal baseball spikes.

When football is played on artificial turf, players wear more of a tennis shoe type tread. Are baseball turf and football turf totally different surfaces?

That’s AstroTurf you’re thinking of. This stuff tries to mimic dirt and grass.

I think football players used to wear more tennis shoes type tread when there was AstroTurf but as things changed to field turf (with the rubber pellets) they started wearing more traditional football cleats. Same with baseball players and the change from AstroTurf to field turf.
