Glossary
seams (noun)
The raised lines of stitching that hold a baseball's leather cover together. These ridges disrupt the surrounding airflow to create tiny pockets of turbulent air, which reduces drag and helps the ball fly much farther. Without them, your favorite pitcher's curveball wouldn't curve, and home runs would be incredibly hard to hit!
