Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 264.3 Hz, 18 cents sharp of C4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A baseball has a small cork and rubber center, wound with long strands of yarn and covered with two figure-eight pieces of white leather. They are sewn together with 108 double stitches of red thread.
Tap it and it is pitched as a curveball: it spins hard, and the spin makes the air push it down and to the side late in its flight, which is why curveballs are so hard to hit. Then the crack of a bat sends it looping back to its spot. A fast pitch reaches the batter in less than half a second.
