Louisville Slugger Bat Label Website?

[3arod13]

I recall a website that showed pictures of Louisville Slugger labels as they chagned throughout the years. Anyone have it?

Also, if you see a player bat with Louisville Slugger under players name vice team name, what does that mean?

Thanks!

Tony:

Before 1990, the Louisville Slugger name under the player name was the norm. In 1990, that third line was left blank, and the MLB team names began appearing in 1991. Bats from then on made for minor leaguers still use the Louisville Slugger name instead of the minor league team ID.
