A baseball gets its ” heaviness ” from three things. A small rubber ball center, string, and cowhide cover. The rubber ball center, known as the “pill” or “heart” weighs 1.25 ounces. String weighs 3.25- 3.50 ounces. String is called yarn by those of us who are baseball experts. Sometimes. Just kidding. And finally a cowhide cover weighing 0.5 ounces. That’s 1/2 an ounce for people good at math. C ya next time
The Weight continues

Dreamed of playing Major League Baseball growing up. It didn't happen. So I wrote a cute, funny baseball story about a talking ball at a big league game. Live in central Florida with my special needs son. His belief that "Take Me Out to the Ball Game " is my favorite song inspired me to write "A Ball's Game." I also post fun baseball facts from the Ball's point of view at my website ( www.Aballsgame.com). View all posts by stefanmathis46
