CHICAGO — A new professional baseball team is coming to Chicago, and it’s looking for players — or performers.
The Chicago Snowballs will be a first-of-its-kind, co-ed entertainment baseball experience, and they’re looking for athletes who can do it all. If you’re a shortstop who plays the tuba or an outfielder who can not only catch a ball, but juggle them — you might be just what the team is looking for.
The team will be based in Chicago and will tour the Midwest, operating in a similar fashion to the Harlem Globetrotters or the Savannah Bananas.
The Bananas, known for combining baseball with physical stunts, comedy, dancing and other skills, sold out Sox Park this summer and are making their way to Wrigley in July.
The Snowballs are set to make their debut May 3 at Kerry Wood Field, 3400 N. Rockwell St. Tryouts are Jan. 5-8 at the Rosemont Dome, with callbacks Jan. 9.
The team is also offering a referral bonus: If you refer someone the team ends up hiring, you could win $100 and four tickets to the May opener.
The waitlist is open to get tickets for the team’s inaugural season.
