And now your Lake County Fielders

New baseball team coming to Zion, Illinois

With the hockey season officially over in Chicago, and our local professional baseball teams not living up to expectations (thats an argument waiting to happen), I am looking forward to the new team coming to Lake County.

Coming next summer, the Lake County Fielders will be playing ball in nearby Zion. They will be in the same league as the Schaumburg Flyers.

Field of Dreams star, Kevin Costner, will be the owner of the Northern League team. Besides the Flyers, the Fielders will be visiting Joliet, IL, and Gary, IN. As well as in Kansas City, KS, Fargo, ND, and Winnipeg, Canada.

For the record, I will be trying out for a role in the Press Box as an announcer. If not, I will settle for being a DJ. Interviewing does not start till next spring.

Play Ball!
