NOTES:
 
    The 1970 -1976 baseballs feature the signature of the new National League President Charles Feeney, replacing Warren Giles. The sweetspot has a new design. The top line now reads "OFFICIAL BALL" with a star on each side, and below that "NATIONAL LEAGUE" all in uppercase lettering. The "Charles Feeney PRES." stamp below that.

 There is also a change to the Spalding logo on the south panel. The Spalding logo circle is smaller and the word Spalding is redesigned most notably the "i" is dotted. Spalding started to sew baseballs in Haiti by 1971, and there are baseballs that have a "Haiti" stamp below "REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." instead of the more common "Made In U.S.A." stamp. The Haiti Spalding logo is slightly different than the Made In U.S.A. logo, and more like the 1974-1976 Spalding logo, most notably with the  the stiching.

 The 1974 - 1976 baseball features a slightly larger Spalding circle logo and "SEWN IN HAITI" is added below "MADE IN U.S.A." The Boxes for all three baseballs are identical with the exception that the Made In U.S.A. box is not stamped with "SEWN IN HAITI"
