Schaumburg Boomers

The Schaumburg Boomers (originally the Schaumburg Boomers Baseball Club) are a professional baseball team based in Schaumburg, Illinois. The Boomers compete in the Frontier League (FL) as a member of the Midwest Division. The Boomers have won four Frontier League championships since their founding in 2012. They are one of the three Frontier League teams located in the Chicago metropolitan area, along with the Joliet Slammers and Windy City ThunderBolts. Since the 2012 season, the team has played its home games at the Wintrust Field, which they share with the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Dominican Stars.

The "Boomers" nickname comes from a common nickname for males of the greater prairie chicken species, a bird which was once abundant in the Midwest but is now a vulnerable species. That bird's nickname comes from the dance these males do in order to attract females for mating purposes. The Boomers carry on the mascot's tradition by performing a reenactment of the prairie chicken's dance in between innings during games.
