Step into a Batter's Paradise
Imagine this: You walk in, anticipation bubbling like a fastball about to be unleashed. Towering above you is the World's Biggest Baseball Bat, a staggering 120 feet tall that'll make you feel like a wee little grounder. That's right, folks, this ain't your grandpappy's baseball memorabilia collection. This is a full-fledged experience.
