We had a wooden bat made for Michael’s 15th birthday this weekend. How can he be 15??? 🙂

One of the teams Michael plays on (Canton Terriers-16U team) recommended SabreCat Bats  for a good, quality, wooden bat.

We really enjoy supporting small, local businesses when we can. It was cool to be able to watch them make the bat from beginning to end. 🙂

Michael’s bat is made from ash wood, 33″ long, and 30 oz. weight.

Cutting the end off…

We went out to lunch while they painted the barrel red…

Came back in time to watch it get laser engraved…

“Cupping” the end of the bat…

A boy and his bat… 🙂

Thanks to Ohio HB-59, he’s able to try out for Sandy Valley’s team, too. Here he is, trying out his new bat that’s just a couple hours old!
