Baseball leather

Description

The tanned leather used to cover the balls played with in the game of baseball. Prior to 1974, the cork center balls were wound with twine then covered with cowhide. Currently, alum-tanned horsehide is used for high-grade baseballs. Inexpensive balls may be covered in kip or sheepskin.
