Whether you’re a shortstop with tuba skills or an outfielder capable of juggling baseballs, the Snowballs could be looking for you.
Drawing inspiration from the engaging formats of teams like the Harlem Globetrotters and the Savannah Bananas, the Chicago Snowballs aim to provide an entertaining blend of baseball and various performance arts. This exciting new venture positions itself to tour around the Midwest, bringing a unique experience to baseball fans and performance enthusiasts alike.
The debut of the Snowballs is scheduled for May 3 at Kerry Wood Field located at 3400 N.

The Snowballs promise to redefine the baseball experience in Chicago by marrying athleticism with creativity and entertainment, setting the stage for what could become a beloved local tradition.
