Thompson Mug Company

Description

I am Randall Thompson, the founder of the Thompson Mug Company, and the creator of the Dugout Mug™ - the Baseball Bat Drinking Mug! I started pursuing my vision in July 2014 after sketching the very first mug on a scrap piece of paper, and my mission was simple… Give baseball fans, baseball players, and baseball parents a NEW, and AWESOME way to enjoy the game they love so much! A little about ME - I grew up in Orlando, Florida and played my first Little League t-ball game at the age of five. From that moment, like many of you, I WAS HOOKED, and the game of baseball had become a part of my life forever. Through hard work and ethics, I earned opportunities to play the game around the country at the college and the professional levels. Just 18 years later, I threw my last pitch at the professional level, and though all good things come to an end, I know if you are good to the game, the game will be good to you. I was right! Why is it called the Dugout Mug? - Back in 2014 while coaching at Florida Tech, I was sitting in the dugout and listening to the hitting coach telling the guys to “FOCUS ON THE HANDS.” To emphasize his point, he cut the top off of a bat and left the barrel sitting on the bench… BOOM! The idea hit me like a 12th inning walk off, “I could definitely drink out of that!” I said to myself… The rest is history! After being released from baseball, I knew that I needed to POUR hard work, ethics, and creativity into something I was passionate about. T
