Stitched leather spheres
Baseballs are the hard, white, red-stitched balls used in baseball—about three inches in diameter with a cork center wrapped in yarn and covered in leather.
The plural typically refers to multiple balls as equipment: The team went through a dozen baseballs during batting practice.
Figuratively, something the size of a baseball suggests a sphere roughly fitting in the palm.
