I was happy to touch down for a sweltering weekend in Tennessee while things have started to cool off at home as summer comes to a close.
Chicago Snowballs
While Saturday was about 85 degrees, Joliet Slammers Stadium was filled with folks watching Snowballs — the Chicago Snowballs, that is. After attending a tryout session earlier this year, this was my first time at an actual game.
