Baseball

So, I looked up some stuff about the furthest baseball ever hit and how far it can go.  I found out the furthest ball every hit by a human was 634 feet by Rickey Mantle.  I tried to look up the furthest a ball can travel before it breaks, but there were not any answers in the first several pages of Google that could tell me.  A talked about how fast a ball can travel to break a bat.  When you feel a professional baseball, the ball appears very solid and it is sewn together very well.  The main part of a baseball is a hard rubber center.  Rubber, wool, and cotton are tightly wrapped around the rubber.  I could not figure out exactly how hard a baseball was, but I did figure out that it hurts more to get hit by a baseball because it is a spherical shape.  Baseballs only weigh about six ounces, but weight does not matter with hardness.  I would like to test a way to hit a baseball so hard that it could potentially brake.  It does not appear that anyone has ever tried to hit a baseball so hard that it would break.  I figured out that space is only about sixty miles straight up from the ground.  The acceleration of the ball would have to be very large for the ball ever to make it 60 miles with gravity pushing down on the ball.  Well, let me know what you guys think about sending a baseball into space.
