How To Make a Baseball

In our continuing efforts to make it through the winter, accumulating trivial information helps. In this case, although I knew the critical parts of a baseball, I don't think I'd ever seen one actually being made. Most kids of my generation at some point played with a baseball long enough for the cover to come off, which inevitably led to the unwinding (and unwinding and unwinding) of string until we reached the core. But, until this video, I don't think I really understood how the cover got around the ball in the first place.

Thanks, Dave.
