After finding much success with the RailCats, enjoying four straight playoff appearances and outstanding attendance, Mr. Salvi expanded his enterprise to include a 100% interest in both the Schaumburg Boomers (Schaumburg, IL) and the collegiate wood bat team, the North Shore Navigators (Lynn, MA) in the Future Collegiate Wood Bat League.
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.
