“Any baseball is beautiful. No other small package
comes as close to the ideal 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.”— Roger Angell, Five Seasons: A Baseball Companion (1977)Tuesday, October 13, 2015
