Above is a picture of just an ordinary baseball. However, most people do not think about the design behind a baseball. A baseball os made with only a few things, however, these few things give it a specific identity. A baseball is made of a cushioned cork and rubber casing at its core, wool and poly/cotton yarn surrounding the core, and a cowhide cover over the exterior of the ball. These specific things come together to create a baseball. The baseball has a purpose to be strong and durable. It can take a pounding. It can be hit by a bat going the speed of over 100 miles per hour without loosing its shape. It is not only made to be strong and durable, but is also made with a lot of finesse. The seams are hand stitched and they give life to the ball. The stitches serve a bigger purpose than just adding more of a design look to the ball. The stitches allow the ball to have movement. A baseball can be thrown in several different ways, and the stitches allow it to move in different ways. The ball gives beauty to the game of baseball as a whole.
