Fresh off their purchase by Mike and Night Train Veeck and Bill Murray, the Frontier League’s Joliet Slammers will kick off their 2024 season on Friday night.
The Veecks and Murray sold their ownership stake in the St. Paul Saints before purchasing the Slammers earlier this year
Night Train, who will handle many of the day-to-day operations of the Slammers, has worked in a variety of sports fields around the world, including helping with promotions for Australia’s Big Bash cricket league and owning a soccer club in Northern Ireland. While it’s not known if Murray will be in attendance at Friday night’s opener, the team says it will offer up a variety of giveaways and will conclude the festivities with fireworks, one of 10 such fireworks nights on the schedule this season.
