One of those minor league baseball teams in Illinois is the Joliet Slammers. They are definitely one of those organizations that puts on a fun show for the fans with entertaining theme nights and promotions. They are about to get brand new ownership and the town is super excited.

This new ownership group for the Joliet Slammers includes popular actor, Bill Murray. I think he's the perfect celebrity owner because the guy is a huge baseball fan, especially the Cubs. One of his partners will be Mike Veeck, the son of former White Sox owner, Bill Veeck. They are both well known for their outrageous baseball promotions. It should be a fun summer in Joliet.
