This baseball symbolizes how the inmates learn and use information from the outside. Piper throws this baseball into rec yard with a note asking Capone to sign it. Her idea is to sell the ball and pay back the money she owes from buying gifts with counterfeit money. He throws the ball back with the words “Do your own time” (201) scratched on it.
