After sleeping in a bit after a long drive the day before we packed up and drove an hour an a half from Georgetown to the Louisville Slugger factory and museum. I think we could have spent the whole afternoon there looking at memorabilia, holding bats of former players, and watching the bat-making process. We saw the Silver Slugger awards, given annually to the best offensive player at each position in baseball, George Brett's infamous pine tar bat, experienced a 90+ mph Cole Hamels fastball, held the largest legal bat that MLB allows, and saw Joey Votto's bats being made. At the end, we were all given mini bats as souvenirs (and it's a good thing we're only hours from home, or they may turn into weapons on these buses that seem to be getting smaller and smaller as the trip progresses).
We thank you all for your prayers and support which made this whole trip possible. After logging 30 hours of driving time in the vans and driving over 2000 miles, your support was very much felt and seen by all of us.
Tonight's phrase: Praise God and to Him be the glory! (I'm sure Coach Wooden would echo that statement!)
Go Trojans!
