Boomers host open house

At an open house Saturday, the Schaumburg Boomers announced that former White Sox player Carlos May, 63, would be part of the coaching staff.

May, a left fielder, spent most of his career with the White Sox, but also played for the New York Yankees and California Angels, as well as playing from 1978 to 1981 in Japan.

Single-game tickets for the Boomers, which will begin its inaugural season May 25, went on sale Saturday. The event also included stadium tours and an Easter egg hunt.
