		Albert Goodwill Spalding (Byron, Illinois September 2, 1850 – September 9, 1915 in Point Loma, California) was a professional baseball player and famous sporting goods manufacturer founder.
		Following the formation of the National Association, baseball's first professional league, in 1871, Spalding joined the Boston Red Stockings (a different club to the modern Red Sox) and was highly successful; winning 205 games (and losing only 53) as a pitcher and batting.323 as a hitter.
		Receiving the archives of the late Henry Chadwick in 1908, Spalding combined these records with his own memories (and biases) to write Americas National Game (published 1911) which, despite its flaws, was probably the first scholarly account of the history of baseball.

		Albert Goodwill Spalding was born on September 2, 1850 in Byron, Illinois, a small village 90 miles west of Chicago.
		Spalding was soon recognized as a very talented ballplayer, and he was offered attractive positions to play in Washington, Cleveland, New York and other cities at annual salaries ranging from $1,500.00 to $2,500.00, amounts considered fabulous in the rather limited baseball world of that time.
		Spalding saw gambling, players in collusion, drunkenness, rowdyism — all invading the game he loved, so he decided to take up the task of reforming baseball by taking the viciousness out of the game and turning it back into the respectable pastime that it once was.

		In the buoyant finale Spalding and Primrose observe the stylistic niceties rather better than Sammons and Tertis whose massive rallentando will not be to all tastes and it is interesting to hear Spalding very slightly lengthen his note values.
		This is a fine recording and it is unarguably the case that this is the finest of Primrose’s recordings of the Concertante — his recording with Heifetz was an unseemly dash and that with Stern and Casals a turgid wallow.
