ELI5: will two baseballs a foot apart in deep space be attracted to each other by gravity? Will it be fast or slow?

Two baseballs any distance apart anywhere are attracted to each other by gravity. In deep space, far from other influences, and very close together, their mutual gravity could easily be stronger than anything else. They would drift towards each other very slowly.
