Battlin' the Champs


Today is the first of three exhibitions between the Boomers and the Joliet Slammers...I will be teaming with Joliet broadcaster Aaron Morse to provide the action of at least today and tomorrow...There will be some video today as well, well at least tiny video...First pitch is slated for 1:00 p.m. today...

BROADCAST LINK

Joliet is a role model for the Boomers...The Slammers won the Frontier League last season as an expansion franchise taking over for a Northern League team...Sound familiar???

NOTE: Expansion franchises have won two of the last three Frontier League Championships...Joliet in 2011 and Lake Erie in 2009...Sandwiched in the middle was River City in 2010...The Rascals, though not an expansion team, won their first ever title in 2010...River City (Out of suburban St. Louis) became the first team to ever reach three straight title series last season...
