Item Description
You are bidding on the Official Cincinnati Reds "Bat Mobile" that was the featured in the 2003 Cincinnati Public Art Project. Louisville Slugger donated over 11,000 bats to help make this event possible, and over 250 different art forms were scattered throughout the city of Cincinnati, all in celebration of Opening Day 2003, and the opening of Great American Ball Park. An excerpt from the original press release: "A Chevy truck has been converted into the official project vehicle. It has a large baseball player bobblehead on top of the cab, old Cinergy Field seats in the bed (for people riding in parades) and a baseball diamond painted on the hood. Magnetic bobbleheads decorate the hood at six infield positions. The tailgate is painted with the Cincinnati skyline, including the new Great American Ball Park with fiber optic "fireworks." It will cruise in parades and to sculpture sites and festivals. It also will do ambulance duty to pick up injured bats and take them to the Bat Hospital."The truck still runs, and will be on display during RedsFest outside of the Duke Energy Convention Center on Friday December 7th and Saturday, December 8th for fans to view. Appointments to view the truck personally the week following RedsFest can be made by emailing Authentics Manager Jon Cline at jcline@reds.com. WINNER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKUP OF THE TRUCK AT GREAT AMERICAN BALL PARK.
