Joliet, IL - The Joliet Slammers are proud to announce a new partnership with Belmont Little League, marking the first-ever collaboration of its kind between the Slammers and a local youth baseball organization. This exciting initiative will provide crucial support to Belmont Little League's Senior Baseball Team for the 2025 season, reinforcing the Slammers' ongoing commitment to growing the game of baseball in the Joliet community.

As part of the partnership, the Slammers will provide essential resources, including uniforms, to ensure the Belmont Senior Baseball Team is equipped for the upcoming season.

"Jesse Barfield, a beloved former Major League Baseball player and part of Joliet's legacy, got his start playing at Belmont Little League.

The MLB Play Ball Initiative in partnership with the Slammers will also provide support and equipment, further ensuring accessibility for aspiring ballplayers in the Joliet area.

As the 2025 season approaches, fans of the Slammers and supporters of Belmont Little League can look forward to seeing the positive impact of this community collaboration both on and off the field.
