The inside of a baseball looks nothing like you'd expect
You've surely heard baseball announcers rave about a player "hitting the cover off the ball." Rarely, if ever, does it actually happen. But it's definitely a sight to see!
Everyone is familiar with a baseball's surface -- white leather with red hand-sewn laces. But the inside? You've never seen anything like it.

As you can see in the video above, underneath that clean white surface is actually a huge mess. Directly beneath the leather casing rests three layers of wool, which, laid out flat, would stretch hundreds of meters long.
Next up is a rubber casing, which contains a ball of solid cork. The result? This bullseye-looking thing!
Corked bats have been long since outlawed in pro ball. But corked baseballs? They're the only ones allowed.
