Nike and Upper Deck also reduced their use of his endorsements during several years after the charge occurred. It is understandable that these companies would be reluctant to use him as the face of their brands, because his behavior in his personal life did not reflect the image and values that they wanted to be associated…

That’s how I see it in my eyes. I have many great accomplishments, but the one that stands out the most is when I graduated high school. May twenty-seventh of two thousand and seventeen. That was the day any teenager would dream of. I graduated from Spalding High School with honors and the third best in my class.

The funny part of the story is while it was stated he developed baseball in 1839 it wasn’t until years later he got the credit due to a push by a fellow named Al Spalding. The name should sound familiar as he was a sports merchandising person. He helped create the Doubleday myth. In reality, the game of baseball or better yet the early rules for baseball…
