Dan Ulmer Inducted into Kentuckiana Business Hall of Fame

Louisville, KY - Congratulations to Louisville Bats Chairman Dan Ulmer, who will be inducted into the Kentuckiana Business Hall of Fame Class of 2010. The Hall of Fame honors those who have made significant contributions to the Louisville-area business community. The induction into the Kentuckiana Business Hall of Fame follows his induction into the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame in April of 2009.

Following a ten-year absence, baseball returned to Louisville in 1982 and Ulmer played a vital role in doing so. He then was heavily involved with the team's move downtown to Louisville Slugger Field. He is now focusing his efforts on the development of the University of Louisville's new downtown arena. A graduate of the University, he has been involved with both academics and athletics at U of L, assisting them with gifts for both the business school and softball stadium.

Ulmer will be inducted into the Kentuckiana Business Hall of Fame at a dinner on Thursday, March 4th at the Kentucky International Convention Center. The 2010 class also includes Louisville Slugger founder John A. "Bud" Hillerich.
