Roger Bossard is one of baseball’s best groundskeepers. Monday, he outdid himself.
“Every once in a while I come up with some crazy stuff. This time it worked.”
The man known as “The Sodfather” arrived at Guaranteed Rate Field around 5:30 a.m. Four hours later, the snow-removal process was just beginning as Mother Nature continued to drop frozen water down on Chicago. But the White Sox were on a cleared, baseball-ready field by first pitch at 1:30 p.m., the grounds crew pulling off an apparent miracle to transform a winter wonderland into a playable surface.
