The beginning of Louisville Slugger

The story behind the famous Louisville Slugger baseball bat started way back in 1880 when only 17-year-old John A. “Bud” Hillerich when he started working for his dad at his woodworking shop in Kentucky, Louisville.

According to the legend, back in 1884 Bud, who was a baseball lover and a player himself, went to see the Louisville Eclipse team play. While he was enjoying the game from the stands he was shocked to see the team’s superstar, P. Browning, breaking a bat.

Bud sensed an opportunity and invited that star player to his father’s woodworking shop and offered to make him a new bat. Listening carefully to Browning’s advice, Bud created a new bat in no time, which was debuted the very next day and got Browning three successful hits.

It wasn’t until 1894 when Bud took over the family business and registered ‘Louisville Slugger’ with the US Patent Office. Probably the biggest step forward regarding not just baseball but the sports marketing, in general, was in 1905 when they paid Honus Wagner (a future Hall of Famer) to use his name on the bat.
