Making a few dollars is fine by me, making several times the cost is not. I was also under the impression that in small quantities the balls were $10 to make each, and only got cheaper after that. If the costs are really as high as people claim, my complaint isn't justified.

I also don't really factor labor into this, as every team I've ever been on has always had at least a few kids that always find a way to avoid working; I imagine these kids would be forced to make balls.
