Spalding, and Reach baseballs were
used in the Major Leagues until 1977,
when Rawlings replaced them as the
official baseball. The following year
in 1978, Rawlings would produce the
first baseballs with commemorative
logos for use in the World Series.
Until this time regular season
baseballs were used. When the American
League was the home team, Reach
baseballs were used, Spalding baseballs
in the national League ballpark.
The first All-Star Game baseballs were produced in 1979 and were stamped with red
ink. Like the regular season baseballs
the sweet spot reads "OFFICIAL BALL" at
the top, with a star on each side, but
the next line below reads
"1979 All-Star Game" all in uppercase
lettering. The third line features the
facsimile signature of the Commissioner
of Baseball "Bowie Kuhn COMMISSONER." stamp.
The top panel is stamped with the
Rawlings® script logo. The bottom panel
features the commemorative "50th" logo.
Each year from 1979 to 1984 the sweet spot stamping remains the same but
the color of the ink used alternates
from red to blue. The blue ink 1980
baseball features the "LA All-Star Game" logo. In 1981
Cleveland Indians red ink All Star
Game" logo, 1982 Blue ink Montreal
Expos All-Star Game logo, 1983 red ink
50th Anniversary White Sox All Star
Game" logo, and 1984 blue ink San
Francisco All-Star Game" logo. From
1985 through 1988 Commissioner Peter
Ueberroth Official World Series
baseballs are produced.
