Discover The Craft: Rawlings Baseballs

Nothing is overlooked or above scrunity for a Rawlings baseball.

This includes the man sewing the red wax thread through the tanned leather. Or when three types of polyblend wool are wrapped around the rubberized core.

All of this is done so that, in the end, a ball might make it through six pitches.
