We used to use balls that looked like that when I worked in an old batting cage in the early 80's. The machines, balls and equipment were probably 20-30 years older than that and we had a whole shed full of similar "baseballs" and "softballs". When I asked the boss why they used these instead of read ones, he said they were cheaper, of course.

Yep, it's an indoor or playground baseball.

Thanks guys...
Dan, I thought playground or indoor balls were supposed to be quite a bit bigger than regular balls and this one is pretty much the same size... Also, when would this ball date to? |

There were indoor and playground balls made about the same size as a regulation baseball. The one that you won probably dates to the 1930s.
