Baseball-Inspired Sunglasses

Start the 2014 MLB Season with These Louisville Slugger Shades

— March 31, 2014 — Lifestyle
With opening day of the 2014 MLB season upon us, you will want a nice pair of sunglasses so you won’t miss any plays in the sun soaked stadiums. Inspired by the 'Louisville Slugger' bat makers, these sunglasses are made of the same wood as the legendary bats. With the two-tone paint job of the shades, the only thing that will pop more than these sunglasses are baseballs off of the ‘Louisville Slugger’ bats the players are using.

When you purchase a pair of the ‘Louisville Slugger’ shades, you will receive a leather travel case, trading card, a ‘Louisville’ display bat and a decorative display box. This set is a must-have for any die-hard baseball fans.
