For 126 years a family of German immigrants has been making a product that's become an icon of American sports. It was in Louisville, Kentucky, along the banks of the Ohio River, that the Hillerich family opened a wood turning shop in 1855. Family patriarch J.F. thought there was money to be made shaping bed posts and butter churns. His 16-year-old American-born son, Bud, was an avid sportsman. He wanted to make baseball bats and an American tradition - the Louisville Slugger - was born.
