Slugger Museum

The Louisville Slugger Museum, a museum located in Louisville (800 West Main Street, KY 40202), Kentucky's "Museum Row" in the West Main District of downtown, showcases the history of the Louisville Slugger brand of baseball bats made by Hillerich & Bradsby, and of baseball in general. Inside the production of the bats is presented, along with historical examples of bats (such as an 1880s Pete Browning bat they recently discovered or the bat that Babe Ruth used to hit his last home run as a Yankee). Outside is a six-story bat that appears to be leaning against the museum building but is completely free standing, the bat weighs 68,000 pounds (120-foot). The building also serves as their corporate headquarters and a production facility.

Das sieht ja klasse aus mit dem riesen Baseballschläger am Gebäude. Gerade so beleuchtet wirkt das echt super.
