June 4, 2013
Louisville is a major city and the largest city in the U.S. state of Kentucky and the county seat of Jefferson County. Louisville is southeasterly situated along the border between Kentucky and Indiana. A resident of Louisville is referred to as a Louisvillian. Although situated in a Southern state, Louisville is influenced by both Southern and Midwestern culture. It is sometimes referred to as either one of the northernmost Southern cities or as one of the southernmost Northern cities in the United States.
The settlement that became the city of Louisville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark and is named after King Louis XVI of France, making Louisville one of the oldest cities west of the Appalachian Mountains.
An important internal shipping port in the 19th century, Louisville today is best known as the location of the Kentucky Derby, the first of three annual thoroughbred horse races making up the Triple Crown.
The Louisville
Slugger Museum and Factory, a museum located in Louisville
Kentucky's "Museum Row" in the West Main District of downtown,
showcases the history of the Louisville Slugger brand of baseball
bats made by Hollerith & Bradsby, and of baseball in general. Inside
the museum, 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).
The building also serves as their corporate headquarters and a production
facility.

Below: Outside of the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory is a SIX-STORY TALL BAT that appears to be leaning against the museum building but is completely free standing. The bat weighs 68,000 pounds. (It is billed as the world's largest bat, although it is hollow and made of steel.) Below: Karen Duquette is standing by the big bat.
