Meet with Yorkville Mayor Gary Golinski to discuss any issues or suggestions for Yorkville over a game of baseball.
Is there an issue you want to address in Yorkville? Do you have an idea you'd like to share? Yorkville Mayor Gary Golinski will be hosting Baseball with the Mayor for residents to drop by and express their thoughts in a casual enviornment. "It combines two of the things I enjoy doing most: discussing issues with people and watching youth baseball," said Golinski, whose son plays on a baseball team. Golinski said while some mayors choose to have 'coffee with the mayor,' he is a bit more creative as balances his family and job with serving the community. If you want to talk to Golinski, he will be Raintree Village Park B baseball field, 872 Prairie Crossing Drive, weather permitting on these days:

Take a look at images from U.S. Cellular Field as the Chicago White Sox kicked off the 2013 season, and see if you recognize a neighbor or two.
The smell of brats cooking on grills made its way through parking lot C off Shields Avenue. By 11 a.m. the beer was flowing. It was opening day on the Southside. Chicago White Sox baseball is deep in traditions for southside families. With a growing number of baby bears in the south suburbs, it wasn't hard to find Sox fans from the North side. "I've been a lifelong Sox fan," says Dan Kochevar from Glen Ellyn. Brothers Tim and Dan Bergin from Chicago Heights hold a lifelong love for the Chicago White Sox. "We have been coming to the park since 1967," said Tim Bergin. "Of course it was Old Comiskey across the street. We have had some great memories. Remembering the 2005 season when the team beat Boston in the division." Dan Bergin …
