For the past 40 YEARS, Sluggers has been there for you, the city of Chicago, and patrons from around THE WORLD who love sports, a good beer and/or cocktail, and good people on both sides of the bar. Over those 4 decades we’ve seen 6 NBA Championships, 3 Stanley Cups, 1 World Series title, 1 World Series title, a Bears Super Bowl appearance, and countless playoff games across the board. Last night and THIS run is special though. With our direct ties to IU as alumni, our friends and family who are also alum or are connected to somehow, to all of the regulars and Hoosiers who have now become part of Sluggers’ history and story, this SEASON and yesterday has been for US. Our own little sports bubble and community has come together here IN FORCE and it’s been a beautiful thing to watch grow and blossom into the scene it was. CHEERS to all of the Hoosiers around the World and across the country. We are ALWAYS here for Chicago sports fans and of course sports fans in general, but HOOSIERS, don’t lose sight of what we are on the cusp of in the immediate future. HISTORY and one of the best NCAA football teams EVER. We want ALL the smoke and are going to South Beach to get what’s ours! Bring on the U and we will see you all on January 19th. HOO HOO HOO… HOOSIERS!!
