Probably one of the best places of the trip was the Louisville Slugger Factory & Museum, it was very cool. We weren’t allowed to take pictures of the actual factory as it is proprietary equipment, nonetheless it was very neat. They have bat samples from all the big league players that purchase from them, did you know that the average pro ball player buys 120 bats a year?! That’s A LOT OF BATS, and the cost of a pro bat can range from $64 - $96. Mr. B purchased him a pro bat with his name engraved along with the Cubs logo, yes my husband is a Cubs fan, that’s okay, at least the Braves are represented in the family somewhere :).
This bat is 120’ tall and 9’ wide around the bottom, you can fit 36,000 gallons of lemonade in it, well I suppose it could be any liquid of your preference but who doesn’t like lemonade?
The M1 Carbine stock and the billy club were manufactured by the Louisville Slugger plant during WWII for the US, isn’t that cool?! Well, I thought it was.
Yes this is Babe Ruth, and yes, this is Babe Ruths bat :)
