The Windy City ThunderBolts are a minor league baseball team which plays in Crestwood, Illinois. The team is a member of the Independent Frontier League, and is associated with no Major League Baseball team. The team was originally known as the Cook County Cheetahs from 1999 until 2003. "Windy City" refers to the city of Chicago's nickname, as Crestwood is a suburb of Chicago.
The team plays at Standard Bank Stadium.
The team was previously named the Cook County Cheetahs prior to the 2004 season. An ownership change instigated the name change.
On August 26, 2007, the ThunderBolts clinched their first Central Division title. On September 17, they defeated the Washington Wild Things to win the Frontier League championship, three games to two.
