Oscar Mayer

Each year in June a new class of Hotdoggers hit the scenic krauts of America.  Similarly, each year at the end of March starts a new season of Major League Baseball.  Tate-yum and I stopped by the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory.  At the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, we learned more about the history of the Louisville Slugger and had the chance to see how the bats for some of baseball’s top dogs are made.

We toured the factory where approximately one million northern white ash and maple wood bats are made each year.  We were lucky dogs to be in the factory at the right time as they were busy making bats for the Oakland A’s and the Cincinnati Reds for Opening Day.  We also got our hands on some Louisville Sluggers used by some of my favorite players of past and present.

There is even a Louisville Slugger made large enough for OUR DOG.  The Louisville Slugger outside the factory is almost 4.5 times taller than the Wienermobile at 120 feet high.

A Louisville Slugger made the perfect size for OUR DOG.

As baseball season approaches, what better to do than catch a game while enjoying an Oscar Mayer hot dog!
