&lt;a name=&quot;Who is Nathan Rueckert&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Who is Nathan Rueckert ?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Nathan Rueckert is a baseball enthusiast and former lefty relief pitcher at Truman State University. In 2001, while in college, he invented a way to express his love for America and for baseball - an American flag made from cutting up a few tattered baseballs used in practice.  Shortly thereafter, he created The Baseball Seams Company, obtained copyrights, launched a web site, and began selling his artwork on retail and wholesale markets.  Rueckert obtained his Bachelors degree in Accounting from Truman State and spends his days working for Wells Fargo Advisors in the Finance Department.  Nathan is an avid Cardinals fan and resides in Florissant, Missouri.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name=&quot;What is the Baseball Seams Company&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;What is The Baseball Seams Company?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt; The Baseball Seams Co. is a sole-proprietorship created by Nathan
Rueckert. The business is operated out of his home in Florissant, Missouri.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name=&quot;Do you accept credit card payments&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Do you accept credit
card payments?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Yes, credit card payments are accepted through &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.paypal.com&quot;&gt;www.paypal.com&lt;/a&gt;.

It takes just 2 minutes to create a Paypal account for payment. By signing up you receive a $5 credit towards your account!
In addition to credit card payments, Paypal allows you to send direct bank
account transfers at the click of a button.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name=&quot;What is Paypal&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;What is Paypal.com?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt; According to their website, Paypal builds on the existing financial
infrastructure of bank accounts and credit cards to create a global, real-time
payment solution. They deliver a product ideally suited for small businesses,
online merchants, individuals and others currently underserved by traditional
payment mechanisms. They seek to become the global standard for online
payments, offering their service to users in 37 countries including the United
States. Paypal has over 12 million registered users, including more than 2.2
million business accounts. Their account base is growing by an average of 18,000
accounts per day, with virtually no traditional sales or marketing. Some
recent awards include: PC Magazine's Top 100 Websites, Time Magazine's
Best Cybertech 2000, and Forbes' Favorite Paying by E-mail.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name=&quot;Why are there only 11 stripes on your American flags&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Why are
there only 11 stripes on your American flags?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt; No disrespect of the American flag is intended by excluding two stripes from
the artwork. Simply stated, an 11-stripe flag can be made evenly from three baseballs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also, a 13 stripe flag also would not comfortably fit in an 8x10 picture frame. On a side note, many more than fifty stars are represented in each
artwork as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot;&gt;Back to Top&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;a name=&quot;How in the world did you come up with this idea&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;How in the world did you come up with this idea?&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt; This actually is quite the popular question.  In Fall of 2001, Rueckert's college roommate was given a baseball seam bracelet as a gift 
from a friend. Rueckert decided to try and make a bracelet himself and 
even added velcro to make it more useable. One day, he stretched the 
bracelet out on his desk and thought it looked similar to a red stripe of an 
American flag. The rest, as they say, is history.  The first flag Rueckert produced is the image seen in the America's Game lithograph prints and t-shirts. 
Rueckert immediately pursued a copyright and shortly thereafter took the first 
steps in creating The Baseball Seams Company. &lt;/p&gt;
