Today's picture does not feature a specific player, team or stadium but without the items featured here, the game could not be played. In this photo we see a load of "billets" being transported the the Louisville Slugger factory to be made into game bats. I just found this picture interesting from the train-like transporter to the large load of billets to the small store front look of the Slugger factory.

While not a classic baseball photo, I hope you enjoy this one today.

That's pretty cool, definitely offers some perspective on how things used to be.

My second favorite, closely behind the '52 Topps store display.

That's one cool pic. I am gonna send it to a friend of mine that loves taking pictures of trains and stuff. I think he will like this one.

This is a great pic for 2 reasons:

1. The whole vintage look of the front of the factory

2. I had no idea they made golf clubs!!!

Awesome picture!!! The train/truck/whatevertheheckitis looks like a toy.

My sons high school baseball coach is a wooden bat maker here in Maine. I know all about billets.

Check him out if you want a GREAT custom made wooden bat!!

I was shocked about the golf clubs as well. I used to pass buy old wooden clubs at flea markets all the time now I am going to stop and look at them to see if their are Louisville slugger models.

This is even cooler since I lived in Louisville from 5th grade till college. My mom and a lot of my friends are still there. No idea where this picture was actually taken though.
