What's Inside a Baseball? http://www.sikids.com. Find out from the Sports Freak at Sports Illustrated for Kids, one of the most established of all sport sites for kids. By the way, according to the the site, baseballs contain a small red "cushion cork" pellet inside that is covered by two thin layers of rubber and wound up tight in wool and cotton thread. The wound up wool and cotton are covered with a thin layer of glue, and a cowhide cover is attached. |
