Just Some Fun Baseball Facts...

  1. 108 stitches on a Major-League Baseball
    • The balls are stitched by hand with 2 straight needles (not so sure they do it by hand anymore)
  2. Major-League bases are 15 square inches 
    • 38.1 centimeters
  3. 1 in 4 chances that a hot dog will be eaten in an American Ballpark, which originated in Iowa. 
    • The Hawkeye State raises more than a quarter of the nation's hot dogs. 

...these facts are from a little calendar so I'm not so sure if they are very accurate...

  1. Is it the size of the calendar that raises some doubt in your mind?
