Description

A Baseball is the ball that is used to play the sport of Baseball and is easily recognizable by its signature red stitching. A Baseball has a sphere form and has a rubber or cork center wrapped in yarn. The Baseball’s core is covered by 2 white leather peanut shaped pieces that are stitched together by red thread. The stitching is an important element that influences the drag of the Baseball. A Baseball is small enough to be comfortably gripped with one hand. The different types of Baseballs are the hard Baseball, the rubber Baseball, and the soft Baseball. The appearance of the Baseball is regulated by Major League Baseball.
