Before partnering with Rawlings, we researched the time-tested process that went into constructing every Major League baseball. From the 300 yards of two and three ply yarn to 108 hand-sewn stitches, we discovered Rawlings’ procedure was as nuanced as the game of baseball itself, and set out to engineer a gold ball consistent with Rawlings’ legacy. The finished product: A 24-karat gold leather baseball built to meet MLB’s weight, size and circumference standards.
Using nanotechnology, our engineers melt down 24-karat gold bullion and artfully infuse the metal into leather hides. We then ship the gold leather to the Rawlings’ plant, where they are hand sewn with the same precision as every official Major League baseball.
The gold infusion process is 100% environmentally-friendly, leaving the leather feeling soft and untreated.
All GSC products are independently certified by Swiss company SGS, the world’s leader in inspection and verification. Each ball comes with a SGS certificate of authenticity guaranteeing exclusively 24-karat gold.
Here's how they do it.
