Abstract
A molded solid softball of a unitary substantially spherical body having simulated stitching including protrusions and indentations on the outer surface integral with the body of the ball and further having simulated holes adjacent the outer edges of the stitching. The stitch holes extend into the body a distance sufficient to simulate the depth of the stitching holes or a standard stitched leather-covered ball. The depth of the stitch holes is between 0.040 and 0.070 inches.
