Turn it Black and it will trace easier

 Try changing the color of the baseball and hands to a darker color so that it will be easier to trace. I would also use your own text it will be much cleaner.

What version are you running? you should be able to select the object then either in the upper LH corner or depending the version, in the color pallet menu and also in the toolbar depending on your preferences. So there should be one to three places to change the color of the stroke and fill separately.

Are you printing the graphic or cutting it? The colors dont matter that much if you're just cutting it.

Ok you are running Inkscape. It sounded like you were using adobe illustrator. My bad.

 

In inkscape you should be able to click the color at the bottom of the screen and the color pallet will pop up for you if you haven't already figured that out.
