When he’s not releasing new music or joining other musicians on stage, singer and guitarist Jack White is making history with his other hobbies. A Warstic baseball bat used by White in a charity sandlot game on May 27 has been inducted in the Baseball Hall of Fame museum.

National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum president Jeff Idelson attended the sandlot game and requested the bat reside in the museum, prompting the announcement made on July 13 Warstic co-owners White and Los Angeles Angels second baseman Ian Kinsler.

The company, started by Kinsler, captured the rock star’s interest in 2016 when he invested in the company and joined as an owner.

Subsequently, after the famous sandlot game, Warstic released 50 exact replicas of the bat used by White. The limited edition sluggers were signed, numbered, and auctioned to raise money for Well For Culture, an initiative to sponsor Native American youth baseball players.

This historic moment does not come undeserved to White. The White Stripes frontman has been vocal about his passion for baseball and dedication to the Detriot Tigers. In 2014, he threw the first pitch at a Tigers’ game against the Chicago White Sox. In 2017, White released a record only to be purchased exclusively with a Tiger ticket package.

As a baseball fan/nut, this is pretty cool! https://t.co/dJGWQ7CvTZ
