The two figure-8 coverings are stapled to the wound ball, then they are hand-sewn together using 88 inches of waxed red thread. There are 108 double stitches (216) in the sewing process, with the first and last completely hidden. An average of 13 to 14 minutes is required to hand-sew a Baseball. In the past Baseball Stitching clamps were used to secure the Baseball during the process of sewing on the cover by hand. In the early days the wooden clamps were made by locale woodworkers or carpenters. The baseballs were both sewn at the factories or at home, the work done mostly by women. Below I will leavea link to a vintage baseball stitching clamp that was used at the Draper-Maynard factory.

Turning chain. These are the stitches you make before you turn your work to begin another row. The number varies with each stitch. These stitches bring your work to the correct height before you make additional stitches. For single crochet that tch does not count as a stitch. For double crochet and all taller stitches, it does count as a stitch.
There are about 6 basic crochet stitches them being: ch~chain stitch sc~single crochet dc~double crochet hdc~half double crochet treble ss~slip stitch most patterns will use one of these stitches or a combo of some of them. .
You can make dropped stitches, which are super simple if you know how to do yarn overs.
I think your question is: if you knitted 30 stitches, how long, in inches, would that be? There is no way to tell. Different types of yarn (wool, cotton, silk, rayon), stitch up differently. The size of the yarn--fingering, worsted, bulky--would change the length that 30 knit stitches would make. Also the size of the needle would change how long 30 stitches would be. If you really want to know, knit a swatch of 30 stitches, and measure it yourself. That is the only way to know for sure.
To make 88 single crochets, you would make 89 chain stitches and go into the second chain from hook to make your first single crochet. To make 88 double crochets, you would make 90 chain stitches and go into the 4th chain from hook. The first 3 skipped chains count as a stitch which is why you are ending up with only 2 less than the original chain.

Most stitches now a days are synthetic...so no
This process is called increase. You can increase stitches by one when you knit in both the front and the back of a stitch, thus turning a single stitch into two stitches.
To crochet using your fingers only, use the same procedure as when using a hook, but just use your fingers instead. You will end up using your forefinger as a "hook" holding the parts of the stitch on your finger, and "hooking" your finger to "draw through" the material to make the stitch. I would hazard that the "best" stitches to make using a finger crochet technique would be the shorter stitches--slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. I think that with taller stitches, you might begin to not have room on your forefinger to "hold" the loops necessary to make the stitches. Look at the attached video link and see finger crocheting single crochet stitches is being done.
Try casting on twice as many stitches. Be sure to count the number of stitches it takes to make a full pattern and see that your total number of stitches is evenly divisible by that number of stitches per pattern. In fact, I sometimes do the math before I take the time to cast on all those stitches. (Didn't they tell us in elementary school that we really would need to know arithmetic? LOL!) And, of course, you will take into account any of the stitches which create a border.
It depends what you did to it and how long the stitches have been in but for 95% of injuries if you've already had stitches I wouldn't say longer than a month but I'm not a doctor
