Submitted by the Joliet Slammers:

The Joliet Slammers presented by ATI Physical Therapy are powering up to 1.21 gigawatts and celebrating “Back to the Future” on Friday, July 24.

In conjunction with the night’s activities the Slammers are guaranteeing that the Chicago Cubs will win the 2015 World Series.

Fans who have a ticket stub from the July 24 game will receive a free ticket to any 2016 Joliet Slammers game if the Cubs fail to win the 2015 World Series.

“When ‘Back to the Future II’ predicted the Cubs would win the World Series in 2015, people thought it was an amusing, but unlikely prediction,” Slammers General Manager Chris Franklin said. “Sports writers agree that the Cubs now have a legitimate chance to have a successful season, and we want to be the first to say the Cubs will absolutely be World Series champions in 2015.”

During “’Back to the Future’ Night, the Slammers will celebrate the years of 1885, 1955, 1985 and end up back in 2015. Any fan that drives a DeLorean to the July 24 game will receive a free ticket to the game.

During the game, fans can participate in movie trivia and anyone that arrives with a working hover board will receive Slammers season tickets for life. After the game, fans will be treated to a “Back to the Future” themed fireworks show.
