A baseball is a ball used in the sport of the same name. The ball comprises a rubber or cork center wrapped in yarn and covered with white horsehide or cowhide. A regulation baseball is 9-9+14 inches in circumference, with a mass of 5 to 5+14 oz. Balls must consist of a core made of cork and rubber, or similar material, which is wrapped in yarn and covered with cow- or horsehide. Today's MLB ball uses what's called a cushioned cork, first introduced about 100 years ago, in which a cork orb is coated with two layers of rubber.
