QuestionWith what do I fill the baseball?T. ChinsenTop AnswererPolyester fiberfill is the recommended fill for any stuffed item. Take a handful of fill and roll it into a ball before stuffing it into the opening. Make as many balls as possible to stuff into your toy. The ball shaped fill will help the toy hold its shape over time. Not doing this will result in a deformed shape as the fill gets packed down from playing.
