Major League Baseball.
Whatever the sport, the Franklin name means exciting products

Franklin Sports® first established itself in the baseball
industry 60 years ago in 1946 when Chairman, Irving Franklin,
founded our company. The true leadership of Franklin Sports®
emerged in the early 80's when their first professional grade
batting gloves appeared in ballparks across the country and on the
hands of the finest players in Major League Baseball®. Soon
thereafter, Franklin® became the Official Batting Glove of
Major League Baseball® and the sole manufacturer of Major
League Baseball's Authentic Collection® - an honor which they
continue to hold today. Throughout their 60 year history,
Franklin® has reaffirmed its leadership position through
aggressive pursuit of technologically advanced products and
materials, unique performance designs, superior manufacturing and
unprecedented levels of service. This directive continues to guide
their approach to marketing and product development today and will
into the future.
For 2008, Franklin® will continue to address player
requirements at all skill levels in dramatic and responsive ways.
The introduction of new, revolutionary technologies and innovative
designs which exceed performance expectations of the world's
finest, while satisfying the demands of the value conscious
consumer, will continue to define Franklin® as the industry
leader.
