In the 19th century, baseballs were often made from crude materials such as rags, cork, and twine, leading to irregular shapes and lower durability.
The late 19th century saw the emergence of the cork center baseball, providing not only durability but also enhancing bounce and trajectory, which improved play.
The Deadball Era was characterized by a decline in offense due to the use of harder rubber casings, resulting in fewer home runs and a slower game.
Modern baseballs utilize advanced technologies for precision, being constructed with layers of rubber and yarn, ensuring consistent standards are met for size, weight, and bounce.
