	BASEBALL
		The physics of the thrown baseball is not well understood at a detailed quantitative level, since the surface of the ball is neither "smooth" nor "rough", and in fact the seams are asymmetrically situated on the ball.
		A baseball is difficult to hit because the batter cannot follow the motion of the ball as it crosses the plate.
		The resistive drag of a baseball moving at 40 meters/second is a force comparable in magnitude of the weight of the ball, which acts in the direction opposite to the velocity vector.

		When asked about whether or not the fact that NBC no longer had the baseball rights was disappointing, Costas said "I'm a little disappointed to lose baseball, but that's the way the business is. And it's not nearly as disappointing as it was when we lost it at the end of the '80s.

		But the pitching unit (the umpire hands the ball to the pitcher, and then the pitcher moves forward to pitch the ball) reminds one of the 1937 Rockola World Series (considered to be the ultimate pitch and bat machine).
