Maybe it's because there are bigger balls involved in basketball!

Seriously though, I agree with TwoBits, basketball is just a more highly charged atmosphere. Baseball has traditionally been a more gentlemanly sport if you will. I also think the odds being good that a face to face encounter may happen backs some of the idiots off a little. It's easy to be an *** from 50 feet and ten bleachers away!
