    So you're telling me that over the course of his career, this guy has caught over 11,000,000 feet of string and yarn?

    It’s fascinating how much science is involved in making baseballs gameday ready. One thing I’ve always loved about baseball is how they mix stats and science with the game and it gives stat nerds like me more things to learn about in terms of the sport.

    This is such a cool and unique video! I never would have wondered what kind of stuff is actually inside a baseball! Must take so much time and effort to be able to put all of the stitching, the strings, the adhesive, everything, into multiple baseballs one by one! Amazing video, Zack! Hopefully we'll be able to see each other at a baseball game again real soon (when they let fans back in of course...)

    ‼️Hey Zack! It’s not set in stone yet but the Toronto Bluejays have a possibility to play at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, New York which is the home field of the Buffalo Bisons, who are the AAA Afilliate of the Toronto Bluejays. If they do play at Sahlen Field we will be able to watch the games from a spot in the outfield without going into the stadium which we obviously can’t do. It would be great for you to come to Buffalo and watch the games. Please get back to me if you are interested!‼️
