Is the baseball of today made the same as the baseball during the days of Babe Ruth?

no there is a huge difference but then again not so much the out side is till the same but other then that no. You see back then when babe Ruth was playing the ball inside was made out of yarn but in todays time our baseball has a cork in side insdead od yarn so there is a big difference but you might find some balls that are still yarn in side and not cork! Any baseball you find has yarn on the inside. It may have a cork center, but it still has a little yarn around the cork. Althought in the major leagues the baseball has no cork in the center. If it has cork, it is most likely a recreational ball. Baseballs are also still laced by hand.
