Owned by a team of baseball specialists–including former L.A. Dodgers catcher Gary Bennett–Slammer's hurls some 18,000 square feet of indoor training ground at baseball and softball players. Players of all skill levels can practice arm extension, timing, and coordination via Slammer's seven pitching machines, capable of simulating fast balls, curve balls, and the terror-inducing movie pitches for Les Miserables 2: More Mis. The state-of-the-art facility is located a hop, skip, and a bunt from Chicago's North Shore, and guests are welcome to combine two Groupons for an entire hour's worth of swing practice.
