Boomers voted league’s Organization of the Year

The Schaumburg Boomers, playoff bound in just their second season, were voted the 2013 Frontier League Organization of the Year, it was announced Tuesday.

“For the Boomers, being named Organization of the Year is about as good as it gets, and we’re extremely humbled to be recognized this way by the 13 other outstanding teams in the Frontier League,” Boomers President and General Manager Andy Viano said.

With three home games still to be played in the regular season, the Boomers have seen a nearly 20 percent increase at the turnstiles in 2013 with just over 3,000 fans a night, up from 2,515 in 2012.
