How did they make a baseball?

Baseballs are made of a number of elements and layers. Usually, a small cork ball about the size of a Golf ball is wrapped in several hundred feet of string. After the string has been wound around the core, it is soaked in a polyurethane agent to keep the ball solid and maintain shape. After the ball has been dried for about a week, a two-piece leather shell is cut and formed around the ball. The leather is glued to the wound ball and then hand-stitched with thick red nylon thread. The balls are then inspected and the threads are pressed to form as close to a spherical shape as possible.

Overall, baseballs take about a week to make. All baseballs are hand stitched even today.
