Sweet Spot

by David Magee, Philip Shirley, Ken Griffey, Jr.

Away from the game and the players for which it was crafted, the baseball bat is a sleek but humble creation. Yet in the hands of batters both young and old who have been stepping to the plate on diamonds around the world for more than a century, the bat is a powerful tool, capable of yielding lasting memories or making legends of a lifetime. And no bat has had more impact on baseball and the players of the game than Louisville Slugger, the tool of the trade used by millions--from the major leagues to college and youth leagues. From the first hand-crafted wooden bat Bud Hillcrich made (in his father's woodworking shop) for professional player Pete Browning in 1884 to bats swung by Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb years ago and Lance Berkman and Alex Rodriguez today, Louisville Slugger has contributed to the evolution and popularity of America's game like few others. Greats like former major-league batting champion George Brett maintained an almost personal relationship with their specially made Louisville Slugger bats while young players fondly recall the emotional purchase and power of a new Louisville Slugger TPX. Still a family-owned American company based in Louisville, Kentucky, Hillerich and Brads-by's Louisville Slugger is both an icon and an enigma after 125 years. As a piece of sporting equipment that has changed how the game is played over a century, yielding more power and punch with each evolutionary design, the Louisville Slugger has consistently delivered to both players and fans beyond functionality. In accordance with Louisville Slugger's 125th anniversary, the complete history of the bat, its impact on the game, and the ongoing story of Hillerich and Bradsby's family business istold in these pages. Blending firsthand stories from former and current major leaguers with details from more than 100 years of craftsmanship and contribution, this comprehensive history of baseball's bat and its impact on America's game is a must-have and must-read for anyone who has ever stood at the plate waiting on a pitch--or watched as a fan--hoping for a miracle.
