Rawlings introduced the newly designed official Major League baseballs for the 2000 season that also features the MLB Silhouetted Batter logo. Changing from the Official American League, and Official National League baseballs, the Official Major League baseball replaced both balls that were used.Spalding along with the Reach label was producing Major league baseball for about 100 years until Rawlingstook over around 1970, and Rawlings have been making major league baseballs ever since.
This imprint was removed after the 1999 season and was replaced in 2000 with the standard "MLB" logo.
For games on July 4 weekend, Major League Baseball Clubs will wear special "Stars & Stripes" caps, which have the American flag etched into the team's logo and are off-white in color with red or blue brims (the Toronto Blue Jays hat will incorporate a Maple Leaf design instead of the "Stars & Stripes"). Major League Baseball Properties will donate 100% of the proceeds it receives from the sale of the caps to Welcome Back Veterans, a program which addresses the needs of returning American Veterans and their families.
Actually, this is a misconception. The article attached confirms that the logo is designed after NO ONE. Jerry Dior, the designer commissioned by MLB states so himself. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090915&content_id=6978258&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb
Before 1978 official league baseballs were used in the world series. When the World Series was played in the American League ballpark, an official American League baseball was used, National League ballpark, National League baseball. The baseballs were not specially marked for the World Series. Rawlings started to make World Series baseballs in 1978 that features The World Series logo.
