The first baseballs had anything from a walnut to a rock in the center. Yarn or string was wrapped around any solid substance. The string was then encased in leather. Players made their own or had them made for them to their own specifications. Since the custom was for the first teams of the 1850s to supply the balls for a game, games were dramatically swayed by the choice of a ball with properties that suited a team’s style of play.

In 1854, three New York teams decided they would use balls that weighed 5½ to 6 ounces. The weight changed to between 6 and 6¼ ounces three years later. In 1858, it was decided that the center be made of India rubber. In 1860, everything changed again. The official weight of a baseball was reduced back to 5¾ ounces, then to 5 ½ ounces in 1861, and to 5¼ ounces in 1867. In 1871, it was decided that the weight of the rubber inside should be no more than 1 ounce. 

The last notable change to baseballs came about in 1974 when MLB changed the outside covering to cowhide from horsehide, as horsehide became hard to come by. Major League Baseball now puts its baseballs through stringent testing before play. They are shot from air cannon at a speed of 85 feet per second at a wall of northern white ash and must rebound at no more than 0.578 percent of their original speed.

Muir And the Environment

In 1903, PresidentTheodore Rooseveltposed with John Muir for pictures on Overhanging Rock at the top of Glacier Point and camped in a hollow there to awake to five inches of snow, which delighted Roosevelt. Roosevelt had sent Muir a letter asking to meet him in Yosemite: “I want to drop politics absolutely for four days and just be out in the open with you.” At their meeting, Muir spoke of environmental degradation, like development, and asked for another layer of protection as a national park to improve management. Muir convinced both Roosevelt and California Governor George Pardee, on that excursion, to recede the state grant and make the Valley and the Mariposa Grove part of Yosemite National Park. This joining together of the 1864 state grant lands with the 1890 national park lands occurred during Roosevelt’s presidency in 1906.(http://www.nps.gov/yose/historyculture/muir-influences.htm)

Capitalism Vs Socialism

Capitalism is the economic thought process that focuses on having a free market. The economy would be beneficial for those who naturally rise on their own economic wins if the government did not play an important role in deciding where and how the money should flow.

Socialism on the other hand focuses more groups of people together, while also creating more economic equality through social programs such as welfare, free healthcare programs and education for the elderly and children who struggle in poverty. 

Capitalists such as Thomas Malthus wanted to focus on economic growth by raising the standard of living for individual families.While, Socialists such as Karl Marx wanted to focus on preserving power and control of not only the economy, but also the environment, to meet the general and basic needs of humans.
