An Obvious Stop On the Trip

The Louisville Slugger Bat Factory.

Talk about a personal quest. I've been yearning for many a year to
come visit this bat wonderland. Again, they told you not to take
photos inside the factory, but the IPhone is super stealthy and I
managed this shot of the billets used for a few of today's superstars.

Many interesting tidbits were learned upon this visit. One of them being that up until next month all Louisville metal bats were not made in China. I asked what opportunities for growth there were in the industry and Bill, the man at the front desk, answered Australia. The final frontier?
