Start with an 80-foot tall baseball bat- the world's largest. Step inside and see a scale replica of the Cal Ripken record 2191 game in Baltimore. Step inside the dugout, run the bases and get up close with models of the players. Then move on and see historic baseball bats- like Ruth's 60 HR bat, Maris' 61 HR bat, McGwire's 70 HR bat and Sosa's 66 HR bat all next to each other. See the exhibit where a 90-MPH pitch is thrown just inches away from you out of a video board into a catcher's mit. That is truly impressive. The biggest attraction, though, is the actual plant where Louisville Slugger produces its bats- see how wood is shaped, molded and built to meet every player's desires. Learn some amazing facts about bats.
