Water tower smack talk: Florence Y'alls' tweet after loss to Joliet raises eyebrows

Dave Clark, Cincinnati Enquirer

A tweet from the Florence Y'alls' official account after Friday night's 5-0 loss to the Joliet Slammers got plenty of attention.

The Y'alls tweeted a photo of the Florence Y'all water tower next to the water tower in Joliet, Illinois, with the following caption: "We might’ve lost 5-0 tonight to the @JolietSlammers , but at least we’re not rockin' with a water tower that's all tip no shaft."

The water tower, a landmark in Northern Kentucky, inspired Florence's team in the independent Frontier League to change its nickname from the Freedom to the Y'alls in 2020.

Florence Y'alls open the season on Thursday, May 27.
