Human Cannonball Coming to Romeoville Friday Night
Will County CrackerJacks opening night will feature a post-game launch by Dave "the bullet" Smith, "The Human Cannonball"
The Will County CrackerJacks will host their home opener at 7 p.m. Friday, June 15, at Brennan Field on the campus of Lewis University at 1 University Parkway in Romeoville.
And opening night just got a whole lot more interesting when the CrackerJacks announced a special appearance by Dave “the bullet” Smith, the Human Cannonball. Smith will put on a post game display following the CrackerJacks game versus the DuPage County Hounds.
Smith has performed all over the world, including “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno, “The Today Show,” and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 race, where he launched in front of 144,000 people.
