The baseball grenade, also known as the MK2 grenade, is a type of hand grenade that was used by the United States military during World War II and beyond. Its distinctive shape resembles that of a baseball, hence the nickname.

The history of the baseball grenade dates back to the early 20th century. The United States Army began experimenting with various grenade designs in the late 1910s and early 1920s. The MK1 grenade, which preceded the MK2, was the first standardized fragmentation grenade adopted by the U.S. military. However, the MK1 had several shortcomings, including its overly complex design and difficulty in manufacturing.

In 1929, the Army began development on a new grenade design, which eventually became the MK2. The MK2 grenade featured a simpler design and was easier to manufacture compared to its predecessor. It consisted of a cylindrical body with a grooved surface to aid in gripping, a fuse assembly on the top, and a safety lever. The grenade was filled with explosive material and fitted with a fragmentation sleeve to increase its lethality upon detonation.

The MK2 grenade entered service in the early 1940s and saw widespread use during World War II. It was used by American forces and their allies in various theaters of the war, including Europe and the Pacific. The grenade proved to be effective in close combat situations, such as clearing out enemy positions and bunkers.

After World War II, the MK2 grenade remained in service with the U.S. military for several decades. It was also supplied to allied countries and used by various armed forces around the world. Over time, improvements were made to the grenade's design and manufacturing process, but its basic configuration remained largely unchanged.

While the MK2 grenade has largely been replaced by more modern hand grenade designs in many military arsenals, it remains an iconic symbol of American military history and is still used in training exercises and by some military units today.
