Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory adds Mo’ne Davis sculpture to its iconic lineup

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) -– Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory added a sculpture of Mo’ne Davis to its iconic lineup.

Davis, known as the trailblazing Little League pitcher who made history in 2014, was the first girl to earn a win and pitch a shutout in a Little League World Series game.

The sculpture unveiling took place on Wednesday, March 12 at 11 a.m. in the museum gallery, with Davis present for the ceremony. At 13 years old, Davis led her team, the Anderson Monarchs, to victory in the Little League World Series. Davis pitched a 70 MPH fastball, the equivalent of a 93 MPH in an MLB game.

“Mo’ne’s story resonates deeply with so many of our guests, especially the young kids who visit our museum with dreams of making an impact in sports,” said Bailey Mazik, Curator and Exhibits Director at Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory. “Her achievements remind us that greatness in the game is not limited by age or gender.”

The sculpture captures Davis in her signature pitching stance, wearing her Anderson Monarchs uniform, topped with the iconic maroon cap she wore during her historic performances.

“I’m incredibly honored to have a sculpture at Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory,” said Davis. “It’s amazing to think that my story can inspire other kids who play and love sports. I hope it shows them that they can accomplish anything, no matter who they are.”

Davis’ inclusion marks a significant addition to the museum’s sculpture lineup, which until now has featured only Major League players. Her sculpture will be featured alongside historical greats including Roberto Clemente, Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Ken Griffey, Jr., Derek Jeter and Hank Aaron.
