A. G. Spalding and the Rise of Baseball

Spalding Baseball Day
-- Albert Goodwill Spalding (born September 2, 1849 – died September 9, 1915) was an American pitcher, manager, and executive in the early years of professional baseball, and the co-founder of A.G. Spalding sporting goods company. He played major league baseball between 1871 and 1878. Spalding set a trend when he started wearing a baseball glove, and eventually opened his sporting goods store.

Read: A. G. Spalding and the Rise of Baseball: The Promise of American Sport, by Peter Levine
-- This biography captures the zest, flamboyance, and creativity of Albert Goodwell Spalding, a man of insatiable ego, a showman and entrepreneur, whose life illuminated the hopes and fears of 19th-century Americans. It is also a vivid evocation of the vanished world of 19th-century baseball, recreating a time when it was transformed from a game played on unkempt fields to a modern style.

Rawlings Official League Baseball

Rawlings Flat Seam Official League Baseball
-- Created specifically for Youth 14U leagues, Rawlings Flat Seam Baseballs are expertly constructed to help young athletes perform at the highest level. The durable high school baseballs offer a composite cork and rubber center and full-grain leather cover. These flat-seam baseballs deliver an average 26-foot increase in distances when compared to raised-seam baseballs. They are also available with a cushioned cork center.

Baseball Cap Holder

CapRack18 - Baseball Cap Holder
-- Perfect for storing, displaying, and organizing up to 18 baseball caps and visors. With two separate cords, each able to hold 9 caps/visors, you have the flexibility of putting both cords behind one door or using a cord behind different doors in different rooms.

Random Acts of Kindness Then and Now

Random Acts of Kindness Day or Be Kind Day
-- The Random Acts of Kindness Day began in New Zealand in 2005 but has since spread worldwide. It is celebrated by individuals, nonprofit groups, and businesses. The idea is that kindness is contagious, and small acts ripple and create a wave of change. The gesture doesn't have to be big. It can be as simple as buying someone a cup of coffee or giving up a seat on the subway or bus.

Read: Random Acts of Kindness Then and Now: The 20th Anniversary of a Simple Idea That Changes Lives
-- Nearly twenty years ago, Conari Press published Random Acts of Kindness and launched a simple movement -- of people being kind to one another in their daily lives. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Random Acts of Kindness, the editors of Conari Press have compiled Random Acts of Kindness Then and Now, which includes the original book along with new material sourced from Facebook, Twitter, and various other social networks. It combines the best of 21st-century crowdsourced wisdom with the best of 20th-century social activism.

Daily Planners Act of Kindness Deck

Act of Kindness Deck
-- Front of cards are glossy and feature hand-lettered kindness-themed quotes. The back of the cards has pre-written messages about acts of kindness and paying it forward. These cards help you actively seek out ways to be kind! Cards come packaged in a slide-out card deck box for easy storage.

Kindness Matters Cards

Kindness Matters Cards
-- These inspirational Kindness Matters cards are a simple way to remind people to remember and do an act of kindness: Open a door for someone. Let someone in front of you in traffic. Say please and thank you. Just be nice. It takes no effort. Who knows? It may even be contagious. Spread the Kindness: Drop or place one of these cards where someone will find it.

In this spectacular paper doll collection, artist Tom Tierney pays tribute to Diana's charitable gesture with the loving re-creation of 31 of the auctioned items, including sumptuous raiment worn by the Princess during official visits, film premieres, state dinners, and diplomatic receptions.
