Sports Photo Gallery: Baseball, Family Fun With Windy City ThunderBolts

Nothing says the Fourth of July like baseball and hot dogs. And the Frontier League Windy City ThunderBolts in Crestwood make it their goal to provide family fun at reasonable rates.

America's favorite past time, baseball, is a family affair. And that's what makes attending a game at Standard Bank Stadium in Crestwood, home of the Windy City ThunderBolts, a must do for the summer.

From $2 parking to $2 hot dogs, enjoying the Thunderbolts in action against one of their Frontier League rivals won't take a "Major League" hit on you wallet. It's a time kids always will remember.

Players sign autographs before the game. Boomer, the ThunderBolts' mascot, poses for pictures. And don't forget the Kids Zone.
