How many baseballs are used in one MLB game and how much do they cost? (as.com)

That is 120 balls used per game. There are 2430 games in a season. That is 291,600 balls per year. Then we have the post season to contend with. With the playoffs, pennants, and World Series on the line, the umpires are, if anything, even more likely to swap out balls, whether they are dirty or not.

I was wondering this last night at the Braves game. That’s a lot. (Also, those numbers are just for the major league level. Not minors. Not semi-professional. Not amateurs. Not little league.)

The numbers are staggering.
