The Details Of a Baseball

[Sabermetrician]

As stupid as this sounds (trust me, I know it does), anyone have any good stuff about a baseball they could share?

 

It's for an English assignment - Choose a common object (baseball for me) and describe it in perfect detail. Try not to give the object away by referring to it or the names of its specific parts.

 

I though I could include somewhere the amount of stitches on a baseball (which I believe is 108), anyone else have some ideas?

This may be of some use to you.

I think I saw a quote that a baseball has the same number of stitches as the catholic rosary, 108 sounds right.

Here is a riddle I had to write for my english class.

I weigh a mere five ounces. Before being used I am rubbed with mud. I always wear a two piece leather coat. Grown men like to take me home and I have caused fever in some. I speak many languages and have been featured in a lot of movies. I have been blown up in Chicago and treated like a cigar in Colorado. I have made birds explode and I have flown over fences. What am I?

Randy Johnson I thought. Ryu just hit the bird, Johnson made it go poof.

I was referring to the Randy Johnson incident. Although now that I think about it I could have incorporated a line about a knocking endangered species off of poles.

You may be thinking of Bull Durham:

 

"For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us." - Annie Savoy
