Rawlings Sporting Goods Co., Inc. is a leading supplier of baseball, basketball, and football equipment and team uniforms in North America and, through a licensee, of baseball equipment and uniforms in Japan. The company also was, in 1997, manufacturing and distributing hockey equipment, volleyballs, and soccer balls, and various sports accessories, and licensing its name for numerous products, including golf equipment, athletic shoes, activewear apparel, socks, and sports drinks. Rawlings’ own manufactured products accounted for about one-quarter of its net revenues in fiscal 1997. The company also owned four factory outlet stores stocked with its own products and those of other parties.
The company was founded in 1887 by George and Alfred Rawlings, brothers who opened a small store in St. Louis. Its first catalogue characterized the company as “Dealers in Fishing Tackle, Guns, Baseball, Football, Golf, Polo, Tennis, Athletic and General Sporting Goods.”
By 1990 Rawlings was one of only two companies manufacturing baseball gloves in the United States. Hides from steers raised in Missouri were taken to a Chicago leather company, where they were tanned and sorted. Each animal yielded two hides, one from each side, with each hide providing enough material for almost four gloves. From Chicago the hides were being shipped to a Rawlings plant in Ava, Missouri, where all of the company’s professional baseball gloves, most of its baseball helmets, and most of its footballs were produced.
