Detail of the day - 3.31.10

As former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden once said, "It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen."  
In my life, the word "details" usual refers to the photographic meaning of the word,  A close-up photograph showing an important detail of a story.  So, I decided to attempt to post a "Detail of the day" (almost) every day on this blog!  Hope you enjoy.

Today's detail shot is a baseball that hangs out at my work desk.
