Before last Saturday’s Washington Nationals baseball game, National Symphony Orchestra violinist Glenn Donnellan performed a virtuosic rendition of the National Anthem…on a violin crafted out of a baseball bat!

Using an ordinary Lousiville Slugger purchased at a sporting goods store, Donnellan built the electric violin himself and posted his handiwork on YouTube. When the clip went viral, it caught the attention of one of the Nationals’ owners–and the rest is history. Way to take your creative–and resourceful–spirit to all new heights!
