You may get some ideas if you google "physics of football." You will get a number of hits and may get some ideas that can be adapted to baseball. There are a couple traveling football exhibits; NSTA has some demos on the physics of football; the University of Nebraska has done physics of football demos in its stadium at halftime with about 80,000 football fans present.

A great demonstration or participative experiment would be to set up a gadget that flings fast-spinning table-tennis balls, which will then fly in a spectacularly swerving path.
You could also use real baseballs but you'd need more space, closer observation (because they swerve less) and considerable safety precautions...!

Give people facts and you feed their minds for an hour.
Awaken curiosity and they feed their own minds for a lifetime.
