** The "Molitor" ball was first introduced in 1973, named after Robert P. "Bob" Molitor (the inventor of the two piece golf ball). Each Molitor ball was held to the tightest specs and quality as possible. By putting a serial number on each ball, Spalding could go back to the day, time, and batch the ball was made in to see what caused the ball to cut, scrape, or crack. - Spalding is an American sporting goods company founded by Albert Spalding in Chicago, Illinois, in 1876 and now headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The company specializes in the production of balls for many sports, but is most-known for its basketballs.
