A Springtime Humpday!

A bit cool for my liking but the sun is out and the tulips are getting ready for action here in the foothills. So with that positive note...on to the question.....

The world's largest of this iconic woodworking product is 120 feet tall and weighs 68,000 pounds. What is it?

Which team hired the guy that uses it? I wanna see him, not the object ;-)

Don't mean to give too much away but if you are planning a trip to DisneyWorld you can see the smaller version of these manufactured (see I am trying not to give too much away) at Team Mickey Athletic Club in Downtown Disney. Otherwise, you will just have to wait until the next AAW Symposium to happen at a fairly recent site (is that obtuse enough).

With those dimensions, it might be a bit hard to tote'em around. Despite appearances, they aren't Polish. (Except that they are, kind of . . . but not really.)

Ok then...the answer

Looks like this one was easier than I thought....especially if you are a turner (I forgot about that).

Anyway, the answer is the world's largest baseball bat, just outside the Louisville Slugger Museum.

Since this was SO EASY no Golden Unis will be awarded. No respectible wood trivia buff would accept it! ;-)

Would it be related to Opening Day?
