Why We Partnered with ESPN Chicago
Our South Side Roots: From College Days to Community Spirit
Not everyone at Postman Law is a Chicago native—myself included. But for all of us, this city has become home. I arrived on the South Side at 18 to attend the University of Chicago. During those tight-budget college days, Chicago Southside Baseball offered an affordable way to immerse ourselves in local sports culture. We’d ride the Red Line to The Cell (before it became Rate Field) for bleacher seats, themed nights, and that undeniable sense of belonging.
Those early memories shaped my view of what a baseball organization—and a city—can offer: inclusivity, affordability, and genuine community pride. Fast-forward to today, and Chicago’s Southside Baseball Team still embodies those same principles, even as the sports world grows more expensive for everyday fans.
Why Partner with ESPN Chicago for Southside Baseball Coverage?
When the opportunity arose to become the sponsor of ESPN Chicago’s live, in-game radio reads for Southside Baseball broadcasts, we jumped at it. Here’s why:
- Community Alignment: We share the Chicago Southside Baseball ethos of being accessible and welcoming to all. Just like baseball games, our legal services are designed to be inclusive—we believe everyone deserves high-quality representation.
- Local Focus: As a Chicago personal injury firm, we want to connect directly with the city’s diverse neighborhoods. Supporting ESPN Chicago’s coverage ensures we reach a wide local audience in a truly authentic way.
- Shared Values: The grit, loyalty, and pride that define Chicago Southside Baseball fans reflect how we approach the law: with determination, respect, and a genuine commitment to the people we serve.
Opening Day 2025: The Perfect First Pitch
This year’s Opening Day felt like a fitting milestone for Postman Law in Chicago. Myself and my colleague, Emma, joined our friends at ESPN Chicago to soak in the excitement—and the drizzly mid-50s weather.
Pre-Game at Cork & Kerry’s
Meeting Carmen DeFalco and John Jurkovic – AKA Jurko: We started off at Cork & Kerry’s with ESPN Chicago’s pre-game hosts Carmen and Jurko. The bar was filled with that signature South Side buzz, turning a midweek day game into a citywide holiday.
Game Highlights
- Chills for the Anthem: The Star-Spangled Banner, complete with fireworks and a flyover, delivered the Opening Day chills I love so much.
- Ballpark Eats: No first game of the season is complete without a hot dog. I decided to spice mine up with chili originally meant for nachos—because why not?
- Big Win: We dominated with an 8–1 victory. Some Twitter pundits say teams that win their Opening Day by this margin often go all the way. We’ll just say we’re feeling optimistic.
Seeing Our Billboards and Hearing Our Injury Report
On the drive to the stadium, we spotted our newly unveiled Postman Law billboards—marking another big first for our growing presence in Chicago. During the broadcast, we heard the announcers present the “Injury Report brought to you by Postman Law” live on ESPN Chicago radio. It was surreal—and incredibly rewarding—to hear our name in the midst of a game day we’ve loved for so long.
Building Momentum—On and Off the Field
Just like the our Southside Team on Opening Day, our team at Postman Law is gearing up for a season of firsts. We’re new to the Chicago personal injury market, but not new to what makes this city so special. And we’re channeling that energy into our mission: to provide formidable personal injury representation that remains accessible to everyone.
- Car and Truck Accidents
- Workplace Injuries
- Slip and Falls
- Wrongful Death Cases
No matter the complexity of your case, we want you to feel empowered—like you have the best possible team in your corner.

In 2003, armed only with ambition and a U-Haul, I and a few fellow Michigan grads rolled into the Twin Cities to start our law school journey at the U. Our first memorable stop? The iconic H.H.H. Metrodome.
Comparative Fault Explained
When you’re injured in an accident—whether it’s a car crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago or a slip-and-fall incident at a neighborhood grocery store—one of the first questions that comes up is: “Who’s at fault?” In Illinois, answering this question often involves comparative fault (also called comparative negligence).
