About this listen
I sat down with author Jeffrey Orens, who wrote Selling Baseball: How A.G. Spalding Built America’s Game.
This episode is all about the unsung architects of America’s pastime—A.G. Spalding and George Wright. These two names might not be as famous as Babe Ruth or Jackie Robinson, but their impact on baseball’s transformation from a simple game to a nationwide business powerhouse is huge.
We’ll explore how Spalding’s marketing genius and Wright’s pioneering play helped shape baseball into the beloved sport we know today. You’re not going to want to miss this deep dive into baseball history.
