  • They are always red.
  • They were not and are not always red. The stitching on Official ball has changed several times. For some time, the AL used blue and red stitch and the NL black and red. It is also possible that the earliest versions used all black. Additionally, there are special balls used such as the All-stars, that vary in color based on the host site. There are many special events that used two colors of lace and some that used one color, some all black, some orange, some red/blue, even red and green.

There is no difference between baseballs used in the National and American Leagues. They use the same baseballs made under the same guidelines listed in the Official MLB Rules.
