ashetlandponyFor years, off and on, I've been looking for a nice vintage Little League Louisville Slugger, with the old Hillerich & Bradsby logo on it. I still have my own from those days, but they are damaged, and not sound enough to use as bats anymore.
Anyway, I recently found this really nice 29" bat on eBay. The price was pretty reasonable considering it's almost 50 years old and basically brand new. It arrived this past Thursday, just in time for my birthday.
One thing that made yesterday's visit from my neighbors so special was that I asked if one of them would pitch some balls to me. I hadn't hit a baseball since I left high school, 46 years ago. I barely got any wood on the ball, but at least I connected a few times! It was a dream come true, and a great way to end a great day. :)
