Those of us in the United States saw a lot of American flags today, most of them fabric, which require maintenance. But an Ohio-based gent named Brooks Hazelbaker produces no-maintenance flags that are meant to hang on a wall, and won't be flapping in the breeze. That's because they're constructed out of the key piece of equipment from America's favorite pastime.
Hazelbaker's HomeRun American Flags are made with full-sized baseball bats that have been halved and painted. Buyers can choose from a spanking paint job or a "rustic" variant...
...and if the 32-inch width is too large for your wall, a smaller 20-inch version can be had.
Prices range from $80 to $280. Hazelbaker will also do custom work, and for those who want to paint and assemble their own, he'll also sell you just the halved bats (for $130 on Etsy) and you can DIY it.
