I would say about 85-90 baseballs are used in a game. I believe, if memory serves, Rawlings estimates closer to 112-120 balls per game. Average life span of a Major League Baseball is 7 pitches, so the actual number would depend on pitch count, foul balls, homeruns and players flipping souveniers to fans at the end of an inning.
about 20? Are you serious? think about it. there are a minium of 27 people up tp bat on each side. Each batter gets at least a new ball. now you are looking at 54. Lets look at foul balls, home runs, and pitches in the dirt. The amount has to be somewhere around 100 per game
For the 2008 season, 17.8 in the National League and 18.4 in the American League.
