Michigan State Spartans gathers and mobilizes their community to teach, support and celebrate the excellence of their student athletes. In 1926, Michigan's first Southern Baseball Training Tour provided the backdrop for the birth of the "Spartan" nickname. It all happened when a Lansing sports reporter applied a silent treatment to a nickname that won the game and replaced his own choice. The name has been going on for years. Alddon rewrote the game account provided by Michigan State Spartans's catcher Perry Fremont, first using the name cautiously, and then boldly headlines. The sports journalist Dale Stafford, a competitor of the National Daily newspaper Lansing Congress News, took the name for his newspaper a few days later. Alddon called Stafford, suggesting that he might want to participate in the Spartan military parade, he did it.
