Arrival of Oldest Artifact Is Worth the "Weight"
for Louisville Slugger Museum

Don Williamson, Chairman of the Kentucky Crushed Stone Association and Rogers Group CEO, took part in the dedication of a 17 ton limestone ball and glove as it was presented to the Louisville Slugger Museum on Tuesday, July 21, 1998.

Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson, KCSA President Don Walker, and other KCSA members also attended the dedication. The enormous ball and glove were created by Louisville sculptors Al Nelson and Kimberly Hillerich.

The sculpture, titled "Let's Play Ball", will help promote the awareness and image of our industry in the community.
