Wright & Ditson
From BR Bullpen
Wright & Ditson is an American sports apparel company now based in Buffalo Grove, IL. It was founded as a sporting goods business by Hall of Famer George Wright and Boston businessman Henry Ditson in 1871. In addition to selling baseball goods, the company also included golf and tennis equipment among its wares. It was bought out by Spalding in 1889, following Ditson's death, but maintained a measure of autonomy.
From 1928 to 1934, the company published the Reach Guide.
