Evolution of the Slugger Bat:

The Hillerich & Bradsby Company has long been the manufacturer of Louisville Slugger out of their base in Louisville, Kentucky. At just 17 years old, John A. "Bud" Hillerich was an attendee at a Louisville Eclipse game when he saw ballplayer Pete Browning break his bat. Since Bud's father owned a woodworking shop, the two would eventually collaborate on crafting a new bat for the mightily slumping Browning. Fastforward a few years later, players around the league were demanding bats from Hillerich and co. They did so knowing that Browning credited their bat as helping him dig his way out of a huge slide. Originally against the idea, Hillerich Sr. eventually caved. Thus paving the way for the future of Louisville Slugger, which we have come to know and love today. Over the years, Louisville Slugger has adapted to the surrounding markets and moved into the alloy metal bat market. They did this to cater to high school and college baseball leagues, as well as aluminum bat slowpitch and fastpitch softball leagues. The proof of their elite caliber classification is in their versatility. So invest in a Slugger Bat today. Then and only then will you know what it means to achieve greatness in the batter's box.
