Late to this super fun one from @bensbiz trip to the Joliet Slammers' prison game. Best part: Probably first Mlb dot com mention of SNL's Jim Downey mlb.com/milb/news/joli…

Spent some time inside the walls and behind bars for pro ballpark #158. The Big House Ballgame between the Joliet Slammers and the Gateway Grizzlies inside the Joliet Correctional Center. Baseball was played here starting in 1914. Slammers did a really nice job with this event.

I interned with this team as a sophomore back in college. The Slammers got their name from the Joliet Prison using baseball as a rec activity for inmates, including John Wayne Gacy. Really cool to see them dive back into their history!

A pre-Civil War prison hosted a professional baseball game between the Joliet Slammers and the Gateway Grizzlies. It's the same location Prison Break was filmed in.

I never understood the fascination with this circle jerk. You go there and angry Black people yell at you. Have you people never taken public transportation? The place is filthy. The food is dog food. Really what is the attraction to this stye?

POV: You crush one in the Big House Ballgame… it clears the entire prison wall… and the ump calls it a double anyway 😂⚾ Bill Murray in the stands, inmate throwbacks, 230ft porches, and Night Train Veeck actually pulling this off? This wasn’t just a game — it was straight-up cinema. Independent ball eating the big leagues alive again. More prison yard baseball IMMEDIATELY. Who’s with me? 👀🔥 #BigHouseBallgame

Would you go to a prison to watch a baseball game? 👀 The @JolietSlammers, a pro baseball team in Illinois, turned an old prison into a ballpark for their exhibition game against the Gateway Grizzlies.

They finally locked us up in the Big House! What a special day for baseball and the Joliet community at Old Joliet Prison. If you’re not having fun in this business. It’s never too late to mend. 🎙️
