I think that I may have taken it about as far as I can at the moment! --Epeefleche 21:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal reflection

I recall playing with a pink Spalding ball in The Bronx (NYC) before and during World War Two. I lived on the Grand Concourse near Yankee Stadium. The ball was expensive -- 10 cents. A bunch of boys (usually 10) had to chip in to buy it. Is my 77-year-old mind playing tricks? But I am certain that it pre-dates 1949 the source of which is the company that bought out Spalding. In 1949 I was a year away from being drafted into the Army and the Korean Police Action. And I surely wasn't bouncing any Spaldeen off the stoop on the eastside of Manhattan.
