Peoria Coldcocks
“Presumed dead. Franchise active.”
Founded by Peoria blues figure Johnny Coldcock Jones, whose attempted trip to space ended in a crash and disappearance. Rooster holds the fortune; SORM runs the club with BooBoo keeping the old operation upright.

CHARACTERS & CLUB AUTHORITY
Mrs. Coldcock
Founder: Johnny Coldcock Jones · Fortune holder: Lightnin’ Deuce Rooster · Club operator: SORM · Longtime operations: BooBoo McSwain · Official mascot: Mrs. Coldcock
Mrs. Coldcock turns Peoria’s giant roadside Muffler Lady into a working ballpark mascot. A Black woman operates the deliberately cumbersome costume beneath its oversized white fiberglass head. The landmark-red shirt is mandatory; the navy skirt and scuffed heels complete the filing. Her signature dance is the P-Town Shuffle.

THE HOME FIELD
On North Street.
Get to North Street. You’ll hear it. The club has no formally named stadium. The front office is in The Flumes, in a converted maintenance chamber with folding tables, filing cabinets, extension cords and empty bottles.
