Re: WARNING - buying 5" Fuel Balls from outside vendors.

An example: Franklin Sports MLB Indestruct-A-Ball Micro Baseballs (12-Pack), 4.95-Inch, White

I ordered them on Amazon and then saw the lead post.

I suppose the assumption I and others made was that, "of course the dimension is its diameter. It's a BALL!" We tend to think in those terms because it has to fit through an opening or be shot between a roller and a fence or...

Anyway, most folks can't accurately measure a diameter, but they can grab a seamstress tape or wrap a string around it... So I suppose that's the reasoning. Still doesn't make sense to me :-)
