 The Joliet Slammers were founded in 2010. |
 They replaced the Joliet Jackhammers, who played in the Northern League. |
 The "Slammers" name comes as a double entendre from the famous prison in Joliet, and also from the common baseball term "Grand Slam." |
 The stadium opened in 2002 and has been the home field for both the Jackhammers and the Slammers. |
 The fire station across the street from the outfield notes the distance from home plate. |
