The Chicago White Sox have had a dismal performance, setting a record for the most losses in a 162-game season. With expectations for a slight improvement (60 wins) this season, recent incidents have further tarnished the team's image. Notably, during a rain delay, the famed grounds crew faced a tarp failure, which led to an unprofessional appearance despite their best efforts. Legendary groundskeeper Roger Bossard highlighted the challenges faced during the storm, indicating that even a seasoned crew can encounter unexpected issues.
"I have to be honest with you. Disco Demolition is No. 1 on my hit list of course. This is probably No. 2. I've never run into where I had 3 inches of water on the infield and then got it ready. I'm proud of my crew and the job they did." - Scott Merkin (@scottmerkin) March 30, 2025
"Instead of being mocked, Bossard and his group deserve a lot of credit for getting the field into game shape, as the game had to be completed since it was tied 2-2 and the Angels do not come back to Chicago."
"Roger Bossard used 4 1/2 tons of drying compound, which is 175 bags, to fix the field. He's in his 59th season as an industry icon and has never dealt with hail until today." - Scott Merkin (@scottmerkin) March 30, 2025
