How many stitches does a baseball have?

Answer 1

Originally, the Baseball's peel was two leather 8s that wrap up its stuffing, rather than something that could be melted on. So when pitchers hold the ball in different grips the air will then get to the ball and the stitches forcing the ball to move in different ways. Without the stitching certain pitches wouldn't be able to be thrown.
