Picture of the day Saturday September 14, 2013

[mchenrycards]

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.

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.
