Like an effective prospecting call or successful sales call, there is more to a baseball than meets the eye.
What many take for granted actually takes great skill, focus, and practice, not to mention
continuous testing, measuring, and commitment to improvement.
So let's take a look at all of the components of a baseball then we'll watch a video to see "how it's made."
How much does a baseball weigh?
An MLB baseball weighs five ounces.
That would be the equivalent of:
- Five slices of whole grain bread
- 55 pennies
- 30 nickles
- 60 dimes
- 25 quarters
Imagine taking 25 quarters, wrapping them in duct tape and trying to hit that ball over the fence!
Good thing they use wool, cotton, and stitching to hold the ball together.
Let's see how much cotton and wool is used to make a baseball.
We'll conclude with the number of stitches a baseball has and the video on how a baseball is made.
