“Going Yard” Bat Blog

It’s only fitting that Louisville’s own Muhammad Ali be honored with a commemorative bat made by Louisville Slugger.

Check out this tribute to the boxing great. A nice collectible!

I probably don’t put enough thought into gifts. At least not enough thought to figure out a really "cool" gift for friends’ weddings and birthdays. That was before this post gave me a great idea: baseball bats as gifts.

The post was about groomsmen’s gifts, but really a baseball bat makes a great gift for many occasions. The most fun to be had is in researching game-used bats, collectibles that any fan will appreciate. For friends’ kids, get them started with their first (and favorite) baseball bat. Just make sure you know the latest information about youth baseball bats before you start your search.

Most baseball fans may not be much for shopping, but baseball bat shopping could be right in our wheelhouse.
