The B is not more vertical on the baseballs but is do to foreshortening
when you photograph a curved object.
Think of a stick placed in ground at angle in front of you like "/"
when you start to walk around the stick it would slowly appear more vertical until it actually looks like this " l "
Look at the Babe Ruth autograph I picked from the left column and traced it onto a ball. The autograph is on top and the traced autograph on the ball is on bottom. You can see when looking at the red arrows that the B is more vertical in the photo of the baseball and the two words have also narrowed, just like in all the examples of baseballs shown

my .02 cents for what its worth |
Earlier in the thread I opined, "it appears some of the images of the balls on the right have been "flattened," which could lead to further distortion."
I think you described much more clearly what I was driving at.
