Joliet, IL – The Joliet Slammers will honor their new ownership and the classic Ghostbusters films by rebranding to the Joliet Slimers for one night during their game on Thursday, July 25, against the Gateway Grizzlies.
The special edition jerseys, featuring a unique slime-drip design, will be auctioned off during the game with proceeds going to charity. One lucky fan will also have a chance to win a signed Bill Murray baseball in the fifth inning.
According to the team’s announcement, fans can expect a variety of Ghostbusters-themed activities throughout the evening. The event will include themed in-between inning contests, plenty of Ghostbusters graphics, and music. Fans are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite characters from the movies. Additionally, the Windy City Ghostbusters will bring along some of the film’s favorite inflatable characters for photo ops, including an Ecto-1 and plenty of proton packs.
The game will also feature a classic Thirsty Thursday promotion with $4 domestic beers presented by Michelob Ultra. “Us Slimers ain’t afraid of no ghosts,” said Slimers’ EVP Night Train Veeck. “We’re excited to see everyone at the ballpark to cheer on the Slimers!”
