I was thinking about this last night. Baseball = leather. tough, rugged. Baseball has seams and stitching. It is held together. I can be thrown at velocity. It moves can move through space to its destination when acted upon.
The baseball is a metaphor for time travel.
Stitches in time.
Don't know if it's been mentioned before, 108 double stitches on a baseball.
A baseball also fixed Rick Moranis' invention in Honey I Shrunk the Kids...I'm just saying....
"James 'Big Toe'
Dogen booted a ball in the 19
23 World Series, allowing the Yankees (the rivals of Jack's beloved Red Sox) to ultimately win the series. Dogen's error was the
4th for the NL team. Most in attendance reported that Dogen's play should not have been an error, as the ball would have likely made it through the infield were it not for the elongated toe on his left foot causing him to wear a shoe 2 sizes larger than anyone else in the league. If that ball had made it through, there would have been
108 combined hits in the '23 World Series."Tough to think Dogen is going to turn out to be on Jack's side.
