LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The iconic Big Bat outside of the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory was vandalized overnight Monday.
LSMF staff worked to remove the vandalism at the base of the bat by peeling the paint off and using a pressure washer.

The museum will remain open for business from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Labor Day.
