Headed down to Nashville, we always pass through Louisville on the way. We have been wanting to stop at the Louisville Slugger museum on past trips, but this was the first time we were able to. Since it was just the two of us traveling, we were making great time and were able to have a short, but fun and fulfilling visit.
John got to pose with one of Paul O'Neill's game used bats.
Outside, there was a walk of fame with bats belonging to famous sluggers and plates commemorating their accomplishments. Here is Honus Wagner's...
And me with the real Dottie from "A League of their Own"...one of my favorite movies.
We stopped at a cafe just a few doors down from the museum to grab a few slices. It was good pie--very authentic NY style. John decided to compliment the chef/owner, Luigi. Turns out he was the original owner of Cafe Luigi on Clark in the city--one of our favorite places and the ONLY place in Chicago to get NY style pizza. It was too good to be true that we would get to meet him. Luigi arrived in Louisville by way of Chicago, by way of Brooklyn, by way of, where else....Italy!
