Maker’s Mark miniature Louisville Slugger bat
 Whether you’re a Maker’s Mark fan or a Louisville Slugger fan, you’ll love this 18-1/4" long mini Louisville Slugger bat dipped in Maker’s Mark famous red wax. It also carries the signature of Bill Samuels, Jr., president and CEO of Maker’s Mark. What a great partnership between two of Louisville’s most famous companies! The Maker’s Mark story is below, but did you know that the Hillerich family has been producing Louisville Slugger bats since 1884, having founded the J.F. Hillerich woodworking shop in Louisville in 1856? J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated to the U.S. from Germany in 1842, and by 1864 his shop was producing everything from balusters to bedposts for the local market. Frederick’s oldest son, John Andrew “Bud” Hillerich, born in Louisville in 1866, was an amateur baseball player and an apprentice in his father’s shop, making his own baseball bats there. The story goes that one spring day in 1884, Bud saw Pete Browning, a star on the Louisville professional baseball team, the Eclipse, break his favorite bat and offered to make him a new one. Browning, known as “The Louisville Slugger,” got three hits in the first game in which he used Bud’s white ash bat – and the rest is history! While this family lore is disputed, there’s no doubt that the brand name “Louisville Slugger” became a registered trademark in 1894. Still in business today and still in the family, Hillerich & Bradley Co., with John A. Hillerich IV as its President and CEO, will celebrate its 125th year of producing Louisville Slugger bats in 2009. This great miniature bat is in perfect condition with no nicks, chips, or cracks, and the red wax and Bill Jr.’s signature are strong and true. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.
