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!

What’s in Your Attic?
Thursday, April 16th, 2009Yesterday Grandpa Bud opened his attic, to the delight of fans of classic baseball and vintage bats. No, this isn’t Bud Selig’s latest publicity stunt, it’s a new feature of the newly re-opened Louisville Slugger Museum.
Grandpa Bud’s Attic, named for company founder Bud Hillerich, has one-of-a-kind relics like original player contracts from the early days of Louisville Slugger. Grandpa Bud’s Attic isn’t the only hit of their 125th anniversary celebration; visitors can also take part in Hold a Piece of History and hold bats used by Hall of Famers Rod Carew and Mickey Mantle.
All in all, it sounds like the museum, already an incredible collection of baseball history, is solidifying itself as a must-visit for baseball fans. My last visit was about five years ago—I think it’s time to head back.
