The National League Spalding baseballs along with the American League Reach Baseballs (owned by Spalding) were used in Major League Baseball for about 100 years until Rawlings took over in 1977, and Rawlings have been making major league baseballs ever since.

What year did they start using red lacing in baseballs?

American League baseballs with the Reach Trademark had Red & Blue stitching, and the National League Spalding Trademark baseballs had Black & Red stitching up until about 1934/35 when both leagues started using only red stitching. I will leave a link below to a price guide for Official Major League baseballs. It is broken down by League and league presidents, along with pictures where you can see stitching used.
