On the way home from Ohio we stopped in Louisville, KY and found "The Big Bat." It is an exact scale replica made by specifications requested by Babe Ruth in the 1920's.
The height is 120 ft. and the diameter is 9 ft.
Facts about the bat are on this plaque in the sidewalk.
It weighs 68,000 lbs. and was installed in 1995.
Paul and I also walked about halfway over the Ohio River on The Big Four Bridge.
It used to be a railroad bridge and now is part of a park for the city.
View of Louisville, KY.
And then it was homeward bound!
