How is a baseball made?

[mburgin]

Anybody ever what the show "How It's Made" on Discovery Channel?

i honestly had no clue until today that it's takes approx. 1 week to make an Official MLB Baseball and each one of them is sewn and stitched by hand. according to the show there are about 350 stitchers that work in the factory producing approx. 8000-9000 baseballs per day. there are 108 stitches on a baseball.

very interesting i thought.

Saw it a few weeks ago. It was actually kind of depressing.
They have several of these factories, and the working conditions
looked pretty terrible to me.

It's in Haiti, no? Poorest country in the world.

I thought ROMLB were made in Costa Rica. And I think a country like Somalia could beat Haiti
