Baseballs used in the majors are made in Costa Rica.

It's not that Americans *won't* make them; it's that the manufacturers
here won't pay wages high enough for an American to support
himself/herself or a family.

Costa Rica is a fairly reasonable place for a developing country. It is
democratic, it doesn't waste its resources on a standing army, and all
its citizens have access to decent health care at a very reasonable
price. It's amazing what can be accomplished in a democratic,
progressive country when a huge percentage of national wealth is not
wasted on the military.
