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.

Great job Drew.
Drew McIntyre says people in the USA don’t have a sense of humor and get offended easily. “People get offended so easily in America. I run my mouth nonstop. Everyone over here is like, ‘OMG, it’s so offensive.’ I’m like, ‘Shut up, mate. Get a grip on yourself.’" IT'S SO TRUE 😂
