Named in tribute for the old Downtown Park in St. Paul, Minnesota, that was referred to as “the Pillbox,” Pillbox Bat. Co is making bats that are as functional as they are stylish. Each 34″ bat is Made in the USA from the same solid Maple that the pros use and then hand-painted in Winona, Minnesota, in one of six styles before getting a durable varnish finish. The Three Strikes Bat is available in black/white/yellow or black/gold and is emblazoned with three X’s for all the pitchers out there. Old Glory is decked out in stars and stripes. Pinstripes is fittingly named and decorated like the pinstripes that have adorned baseball uniforms for over a century. Home of the Brave is an homage to the Bald Eagle. Join or Die is wood-burned with the segmented snake introduced by Benjamin Franklin. While each bat is perfectly suited for hanging above the mantle, they’re also well made enough to actually use to hit a ball.
