Who invented the ball used for basketball?
== == James Naismith invented the game of basketball in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts but at the time he used a soccer ball. U.S. patent #1,718,305 was granted to G.L. Pierce on June 25, 1929 for the "basketball" used in the game. Spaulding was one of the first companies that manufactured basketballs. The first formal rules were devised in 1892. Initially, players dribbled a soccer ball up and down a court of unspecified dimensions. Points were earned by landing the ball in a peach basket. Iron hoops and a hammock-style basket were introduced in 1893. Another decade passed, however, before the innovation of open-ended nets put an end to the practice of manually retrieving the ball from the basket each time a goal was scored. In 1959, James Naismith was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame (called the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.) Tony Hinkle designed the current orange ball that is in use today. He introduced it in the 1950's so that the players and spectators would be able to see it more clearly.James Naismith
