Fact. A baseball is 2.96 inches wide, or tall, depending on how you hold it. Since .04 of an inch is such a small number, we’re going to say a baseball is 3 inches wide(or tall). A foot is 12 inches long. Meaning there are 4 baseballs per foot (12 inches ÷3 inches). Multiply 4 x # of feet , to get how many baseballs tall an object is. Example – If I were 5 feet tall, I’d be 20 baseballs tall (4×5=20). I’m 5’9 inches (4×5=20, and 9″÷3″= 3) for total of 23 baseballs tall. Try to figure out your height. The same formula (4x ???) also works for distance. Just be sure to use a distance in feet. Isn’t height (tall), so much better than weight? C ya next time.
As tall as wide

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
