The rulebook disagrees:

Rule 5 of OBR is filled with references to "live", "alive", and "dead" balls. Likewise FED rules have a chart devoted to "dead' and "delayed dead" balls.

The words "dead" and "live" ball appear in many places in the rulebook. Obviously, you have never cut open a baseball and found its beating heart.
