It’s My Party and I’ll Pout If I Want To!

JOLIET, IL- For the past few days Jammer, the Joliet JackHammers

mascot, has been missing. We are happy to report Jammer

has been found!

Jammer was found by General Manager, Kelly Sufka.

Sufka reportedly found a hand-written note from Jammer placed

on her desk when she arrived at work this morning.

The note (see attached) told Sufka that Jammer was

upset about the fact that people did not want to come to his

birthday party (Tuesday, August 7) that he headed to the roof!

Jammer is not coming down until there are 1,000 more

tickets sold for Jammer’s birthday.

Sufka then proceeded outside to find Jammer and his

tent on top of one of the towers at the front of Silver Cross Field.

Jammer is refusing to come down until 1,000 more tickets

are sold for Jammer’s birthday. Jammer can’t believe people have

not yet gone out and bought tickets for the birthday where Jammer

is giving away Jammer bobbleheads to the first 1,000 fans through

the gates.

Jammer’s agent, Joe Doyle issued this statement. “Jammer

is disappointed; Jammer was hoping for record crowds to celebrate

his big day. Jammer feels this day is well deserved, where everyone

in the community comes out to show support of the greatest mascot

in the Northern League.”

When asked if Jammer was being a selfish brat, Doyle had no comment and refused to answer anymore questions.

Coming to Jammer’s aide are a few of the other mascots in the Chicagoland area. When they heard of Jammer’s plight Benny the Bull personally text messaged Jammer to let Jammer know he is coming to the party. Grabowski (Chicago Rush), Tommy Hawk (Chicago Blackhawks) and Bernie (University of St Francis) will all be there to help celebrate Jammer’s birthday.

The JackHammers have decided to stand behind Jammer’s decision. “Jammer is the glue that holds this organization together. If we don’t stand behind our biggest member it would be a

huge let down from his JackHammer family.” said Sufka. “We are asking that everyone in the Chicagoland area come out to Jammer’s birthday party on Tuesday August 7^th.” If the 1,000 tickets aren’t sold by Friday the JackHammers may be in a bit of a pickle because they have a game, in which Jammer could very well not be able to entertain the fans. That means no mascot race; no dancing, no bald men will have their heads shined for free. It could end up being a laugh-free game.

If you would like to help get Jammer off the tower call (815)726-2255 or go to the Box Office and buy tickets for Tuesday August 7^th, today!
