CLARKSVILLE, Ind. — The Louisville Slugger is likely the most famous baseball bat in the world. But what many might not know is that the Hillerich & Bradsby Company bats weren’t always made in Louisville .The Louisville Slugger was crafted in Clarksville , Indiana, from 1970 until 1995. The Indiana plant was located on the other side of the Ohio River, and it cranked out 3 million bats a year.
The 40 to 50-year-old timber arrived by rail from New York and Pennsylvania. Each piece was graded for quality and spent a full year in the elements before beginning the transformation into a baseball bat.While bats destined for retail stores were built using lathes, those bound for big league ballparks were crafted by hand by workers making an hourly wage of $6.35.The specifications for pro players were kept in filing cabinets housed inside a fireproof room.
