Chicago White Sox hold blood drive at Guaranteed Rate Field to aid in the fight against the coronavirus: ‘It couldn’t be a more perfect place for me to come and give blood’

Like baseball fans everywhere, Ron Kittle longs for the sights, sounds and smells of the game to return.

“The (smell of the) hot dogs, the popcorn, I kind of miss that,” the former White Sox slugger who is now a team ambassador said Friday at Guaranteed Rate Field. “I miss the people I work with every day and I see on a regular basis. The sound of the bat, the ball, waving to somebody and the excitement for the little kids.”

Kittle was back at the ballpark Friday helping out for a larger cause by donating blood.
