The final stop on our innaugural trip. I do have to say that I think grandpa and I were worn out by the time we got to Louisville. Swimming every day and wrestling every night had put a strain on the two of us! Again, we traveled into the city early. This time to tour the wonderful Louisville bat museum and factory. I think we appreciated it a bit more then the kids, but they enjoyed their time in the batting cage and their fourth mini bat of the trip for attending the factory tour.
After the tour, we walked over to Slugger Stadium. We got their a bit early so we decided to have a bite to eat in the restaurant attached to the stadium. The kids weren't the bigget fan of this idea as they thought this would cut down on the food we would let them buy in the stadium! It didn't.
Louisville has a nice park, clean with a nice view over looking the Ohio River. The park has been around for a while as I had been their 12 years earlier as a teen to watch a game. One that included Deion Sanders hitting a home run at that! We enjoyed the park, but it seemed the least descript of all of the parks. This was also our first extra innings game. I don't remember much else about the game. Regretfully, because it was a Sunday at about 5 and Grandpa had to make it back to Fort Wayne for work the next day, we left in the 11th inning before the game was over. We later found out they won, making the home team 4-0 on our trip. Of course, we concluded that we had to be good luck! We bought a black Sluggers bat to finish off our 5 mini-bat haul for the trip and our first baseball vacation!
