Finally, the gyroball mystery solved "I stood behind the empty batting cage to get a better look. Tezuka adjusted his fingers to the correct spots on the four-seam black ball, which he sells for about $25 a set back in Japan. If he threw a gyroball, the only thing I would see was black, because that was the half of the ball that was supposed to spin toward the plate. Black it was, with small flickers of white, because the axis wasn't perfect. Same went for the red two-seam gyroball. Almost all color. 'That's the gyroball,' he said, and it was somewhat anticlimactic, the game's purported great revolution looking in actuality like nothing more than a fastball."
