Rawlings can be a surname, a location name or a company name.
Rawlings is a sports equipment manufacturing company in the United States. It was founded in 1887. The parent company is Jarden, Inc. Rawlings specializes in baseball equipment, but also manufactures softball, basketball, training equipment and American footballs. They have also recently started making fan gear such as chairs, tents, and bags with team logos on them.
Horween Leather Company has provided Rawlings with leather since 1929. In 2003, Horween was providing leather for 3,000 Rawlings baseball gloves annually, and half of professional baseball players were using baseball gloves made from Horween leather.
In 2005 Rawlings corporate headquarters were moved from Fenton, Missouri, to Town and Country, Missouri.
Rawlings has been the official supplier of baseballs to the major leagues since 1977, succeeding Spalding, which had been the supplier for a century.
Rawlings is also the creator of the MLB Gold Glove Award, and sponsors the Minor League Baseball (MiLB) "Rawlings Woman Executive of the Year" award.
Rawlings (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played for Kent during the 1750s. In one report, his name was spelled Rawlins.
Rawlings is first mentioned in the report of the Kent v Surrey game at Dartford Brent on Friday, 6 July 1750. He then played for Kent against All-England in the two matches at the Artillery Ground in May 1751.
As Rawlings had established his reputation by 1750, he must have been active for some years previously. His career probably spanned the 1740s and 1750s when very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports.
She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares
Alone
Across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly
Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards
One by one her senses die
The memories fade
And leave her eyes
Still seeing worlds that never were
And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water bows
Receives her
And drowns her at its ease
Drowns her at its ease
I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you love
The fleeting shapes
So many years ago
So young and beautiful and brave
Everything was true
It couldn't be a story
I wish it was all true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me
Lifeless
Hoping
Breathing like the drowning man
Oh Fushia
You leave me
Breathing like the drowning man
