The Educated Pill by Bob Olsen:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
"IF you wish to spend a mirthful half hour, don’t fail to read this story. And if you are a baseball fan — as very likely you are — this story mill not fail to register a decided kick. As a matter of fact, you will find yourself reading this story out loud to your friends for the rest of the summer, unless we are very much mistaken.
On the other hand, a mechanical baseball like the one our author describes, is not at all impossible. As a matter of fact, it shows decided possibilities."
