GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. – As part of his tour of small businesses in Southern New Jersey today, U.S. Senator Robert Menendez met with the top management of Victus Sports, a manufacturer of custom, professional-grade baseball bats based in Gloucester Township, New Jersey. The unique, New Jersey small business gained recent notoriety for creating special baseball bats at the request of major league ballplayers to help victims of the Boston Marathon bombing and the tragic fire in West, Texas.
\”In such a short time, you’ve become part of America’s pastime. Making bats for over 100 professional baseball players in the major and minor leagues like Adam Jones of the Orioles and Mark Teixiera of the Yankees is more than a business. It’s got to be fun,\” said Senator Menendez, who noted the company is on track to manufacture 20,000 bats this year. \”I know you will be attracting a loyal following with every team in the country. I guess the lesson is you can have fun in business and give something back to the community and the nation – all at the same time.\”
