What do Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and 60 percent of Major League Baseball players have in common?
Hall of Fame bats are made by members of USW Local 1693 at the Louisville Slugger factory in Kentucky work at the Hillerich & Bradsby Co. They take pride in the fact that they produce an iconic product used by some of the most famous hitters in @MLB history.
Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory is located at 800 West Main St., Louisville, KY 40202. Guided factory tours are held every 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the season. For hours and bat production tours, Click Here. To find out information on designed bats, Click Here.
So as we celebrate a new MLB season, let’s not just root for the home team but for @Steelworkers member whose craftsmanship and handwork produce @louisvilleslugger bats! #USWMade
