Batter Up: What Baseball Teaches Us About Packaging
March 25, 2014
It may still be spring, but it’s time for the boys of summer to take the field and for the bleachers to fill up with fans watching America’s favorite pastime: anthropomorphised mascots dancing to YMCA. That, and watching the Cubs lose.
But maybe the best thing about going to a baseball game is the hope, however small, that you will be one of the lucky few to catch a ball in the stands. It’s the holy grail of attending a baseball game … just don’t forget to keep an eye on your kid like this Dad of the Year.
In baseball, it is all about consistency. No, not the players – we’re talking about the baseball ball itself. Those stitched-leather balls of yarn needs to be made identical so there isn’t an unfair advantage for some teams or players.
Check out this video of the mechanical and handmade steps taken to ensure every baseball is consistent in size, shape and weight.
