In grams if possible.
Thanks.

It says they are between 5 and 5.25 ounces (sorry, I stink at conversions).
Okay, here's the conversion thingy:
To change ounces to grams multiply by 28.35
I'll let you do the multiplying (no calculator nearby).
hmmmm, didn't think it would be that much. I'm surprised there's not more injuries.
PS, I used the calculator on my computer.
I thought...
I thought a baseball was 1kg.
Was I wrong?
I just weighed two of them on my handy dandy kitchen scale.
The first one, a well-used, scuffed model came in at 5 oz (142 grams).
The second one, fresh from the package unused, weighed 5.35 oz (151 grams).
Do we blame the excess .10 ounces on an inaccurate kitchen scale or poor quality control at the ball factory?
The used ball is 1/3 of an ounce lighter, not .10 ounces.
I attribute the old ball's lesser weight to drying out.
I was referring to the 5.35 oz. weight of the new ball vs. the 5.25oz maximum mentioned in an earlier posting.
