Geneva Sun Jonas Brothers madness hits Elfstrom
GENEVA -- The Jonas Brothers like softball.
Of course, if you're under the age of 20 (give or take) and are fans of the Disney music/TV stars, you'd already know that's what they do between concerts while on the road.
Duh.
That said, it wasn't a surprise to some of you that blogs, fan sites and Twitter were abuzz with giggly chatter about the Jonas Brothers taking over Elfstrom Stadium Saturday afternoon -- between a pair of sold-out shows at the Allstate Arena in Chicago -- for a softball game.
The rest of us found out about it waaaaayyy later, you know, like after it was over.
"Just had the best day ever watching the (Jonas Brothers) play softball and sat right above their dugout," Tweeted one female fan.
Not everyone was so lucky.
"If I had a car I'd (expletive) be on my way to see the Jonas Brothers playing softball in Kane County," another wrote on her Twitter page.
By the way, old folks, Twitter is the social networking-mini blogging site that limits users to 140 characters to share what they've got to say.
Again, duh.
Kane County Cougars General Manager Jeff Sedivy said the softball game was part of a private party planned by the jet company, Marquee Jets, that flies the JoBros around.
"The Jonas Brothers love to play softball. It's a little in-tour diversion," Sedivy said as his team took on the Great Lakes Loons Saturday night. "They were great guys."
Sedivy said about 150 people affiliated with Marquee were invited to the game, but another 300 eager fans were allowed to sit on the first-base lawn area to check out the softball game.
Some Cougars employees joined the Marquee team to defeat the Jonas team, Road Dogs -- their first loss in a series of 11 contests slated by the trio

Martina McBride Singing at Kevin and Danielle's Wedding
CMT.com Martina McBride: Singing at Jonas Brother's Wedding?
She doesn’t really fit the image of a wedding singer, does she? But Martina McBride is perhaps going to be singing at Kevin Jonas’ upcoming wedding. “I wouldn’t say we hang out and we’re really close friends, but we have connected quite a few times,” McBride told OK! magazine. “They’re really serious about their music, really good kids. I got to meet their parents.” And Kevin’s younger bro, Nick, just did some recording in McBride’s Blackbird Studio in Nashville. When that happened, McBride’s husband John told him, “I just want to tell you we will try for our daughters not to stalk you while you’re here.”
