A Short Summary On Baseball

Baseball
By: Jeremy Dodson

Imagine you saw a professional hitting a home run. Then you wonder how the ball got that far. You ask yourself “should I go ask the coach how the player hit the home run?”
Do you know who Dave Winfield is? Do you want to know more about baseball for young and old?

What a Baseball Made of?

A baseball is made up of 4 main layers. At the center of the ball is a rubber core. Around the core is a layer of cork. Then twine is wrapped around the core. Over the twine is stitched a layer of leather that makes up the cover of the ball. They stitch the ball because that way the twine part of the ball does not come out like stuffing from a pillow. The ball is made the same for both of the leagues except for the tee-ball league. The middle of the tee-ball is made up of this soft component so it will not hurt as much when you get hit by it because you are just beginning of your baseball career if you want that to be your career.
This is so because without it you will not have a sturdy baseball. I know this because on one of my baseballs I took out the core and remade the baseball. When I was finished I threw the ball to my friend and it fell in mid flight to where my friend could not catch it. I never did that again because it was a waste of the materials because we could not find a way to use
