Any baseball is beautiful. No other small package
comes as close to the ideal in design and utility.
It is a perfect object for a man's hand. Pick it
up and it instantly suggests its purpose: it is
meant to be thrown a considerable distance-thrown
hard and with precision. Its feel and heft are the
beginning of the sport's critical dimensions; if
it were a fraction of an inch larger or smaller, a
few centigrams heavier or lighter, the game of
baseball would be utterly different.
Hold a baseball in your hand ... Feel the ball,
turn it over in your hand; hold it across the seam
or the other way, with the seam just to the side
of your middle finger. Speculation stirs. You want
to get outdoors and throw this spare and sensual
object to somebody or, at the very least, watch
somebody else throw it. The game has begun.
