Giant Lego Derek Jeter portrait is clutch


The Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory in Louisville, Ky. opened a new exhibition called Big Leagues, Little Bricks that features various iconic baseball images reimagined through Legos.

Visitors to the museum can check out a faithful, 57,960-Lego model of Chicago's Friendly Confines, Wrigley Field:

Or admire a Milwaukee engineering student's 35,000-brick rendition of Miller Park, complete with retractable roof:

But most of us will be lost in Lego Derek Jeter's enchanting Lego eyes:

The exhibit features several more Lego ballparks, a series of Lego ballplayers in action poses, and a 55,269-brick photomural.

Museum visitors who can pull themselves away from staring at Lego Jeter can build their own Lego art, view historic baseball memorabilia, and visit the world's largest baseball bat.
