1976 Spalding OAL Baseball  1985-1994 Rawlings Baseball

NOTES:

 In 1977 Rawlings becomes the official manufacturer of Major League baseballs. The 1977-1984 Lee MacPhail Rawlings baseballs can be dated by a dot system that is located below the word "Haiti" (where the baseballs are made) and the Rawlings logo on the north panel. The sweetspot basically remains the same with minor changes to the size of the stamping, and a different Lee MacPhail signature.

 In 1980 the "word" Haiti is moved to the center of "Rawlings" and in 1982 it is moved back to the right. Starting in 1981 the printing on the ball is sharper and a brighter blue ink is used. The south panel feature "The Cushioned Cork Center" Stamp and centered below is "RO-A" (Rawlings Official-American)
