224/366 Baseballs
The first baseballs had anything from a walnut to a rock in the centre, and yarn was wrapped around it. Next it was encased in leather. Players of the game made their own or had them made for them to their own specifications. Over the years the baseball has undergone a a few changes in weight, dimension and construction. As of 2011, MLB rules specified that the centre can be made of any rubber or cork and the ball must weigh between 5 and 5¼ ounces (142 grams and 149 grams).
These are just a few of the balls that find their way into our yard.
