#40: Amount of Balls Used in MBL Season
Can you picture 850,000 baseballs? That seems to me an insane amount of balls to be going through in a single season. It’s a huge average of 349 balls brought onto the field for each of the 2,430 games played. Do all of them get hit square out of the stadium?
Indeed, am I the only one who wonders what happens to all those balls after they get taken out of play? Do they have special garbage dumps dedicated solely to baseball remains? Are they donated to baseball charities? Or are they recycled and turned into pot plants or table decorations?
