Below you’ll find my baseball facts from the ball’s point of view. All facts are true, written in my own words with a little humor thrown in occasionally. Facts end with the words…C ya next time.

A professional baseball weighs 5.25 ounces. A pound (lbs) is 16 ounces. If you divide (16 ÷ 5.25 = 3.04). Let’s just call it 3. 1 pound (lbs) equals 3 baseballs. Want to know a weight in baseballs, just triple it. C ya next time

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

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. A foot is 12 inches. 12 inches ÷ 3 inches = 4. 4 baseballs in a line equals a foot in length. C ya next time.

Circumference is how big around you are. C-i-r is first letters of circle and circumference. I wonder if there related? Fact: My circumference is 9.25 inches. In other words, that’s my waist, or hat size. I bet I’d look good in a hat. C ya next time.

Fact. When you look at me, what’s the first thing you see? The word “Rawlings” across my beautiful white leather cover. Cuse’ me sir, you’re holding me upside down. My leather cover comes from cattle raised in Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado. My cover is then tanned (dried, not the color) and bleached (this is color –white) in Tullahoma, Tennessee. “C ya next time”.

Fact. The cover on a baseball is shaped like the # 8. A baseball has 108 double stitches. It takes 7 feet, 6inches of red waxed twine to keep the cover attached. C ya next time.

Babe Ruth, maybe you’ve heard of him, was the 1st player to hit 25 home runs in one season. The year was 1919. By this time, the game of baseball is about 80 years old. C ya next time.

Fact. Since 1905 over 10,000 Major League players have signed a contract to use Louisville Slugger bats. C ya next time.
