Tonight at Slammers Stadium I will be joined in the broadcast booth by Joliet native Jesse Barfield, former Major League Baseball player that won the Silver Slugger, Gold Glove Awards, and was selected as an All-Star. Jesse played for the Toronto BlueJays, and New York Yankees.

Lonnie Wilkins and myself will be on the call for this historic event.
NEW: Baseball is coming to the Old Joliet Prison ⚾️
The @JolietSlammers shared photos of the preparation underway for “The Big House Ballgame.” The team will play an exhibition game to kick off the Route 66 Centennial Celebration.
There is a long history of baseball being played at the old prison. According to the team, the first game was introduced in 1914 by Warden Edmund Allen as a way to improve morale. Baseball was regularly played until the facility closed in 2002.
The Slammers will take on the Gateway Grizzlies in the old prison yard on April 30th. Tickets are available now.

What a weekend, the #3 ranked Aurora University Spartans men’s hockey team swept MSOE in the Quarterfinals of the NCHA playoffs, they will play the Adrian Bulldogs for the 5th time this season in the semifinals next Saturday. I’m very humbled to have had the team sign a jersey .

@SheponAir I can’t thank you enough for you and your show, I’m in law enforcement in the suburbs of Chicago and I work the graveyard shift. I agree what happened at Michigan had nothing to do with race, it had everything to do about people that made really bad decisions

@BartWinklerShow about 90% of the seats in the Bristol Speedway just like the bleachers at Wrigley Field. I’ve been there several times and that’s it’s tough on your back.

@BartWinklerShow they did play a football game at the Bristol motor Speedway in the same place that they’re playing the major league baseball game at. I believe Virginia Tech was in that game.
