Abstract: A new ball shaped amusement device is described wherein a core center of a ball is covered with a partial (figure-8) outer layer, thereby presenting a firm edge around the periphery of the partial layer. Moreover, this partial layer is chosen in the traditional figure-8 pattern generally seen as seams in popular baseballs, to present a striking visual resemblance as well as the desired irregular surface. With this surface contour the flight of the ball as well as its bounce take on new and unusual paths.
