The MVP of this terrible day of Chicago weather? Hands down, it's the White Sox grounds crew.
Roger Bossard earned his "Sodfather" nickname Monday, with his crew transforming a winter-wonderland version of Guaranteed Rate Field.
This is what things looked like on the South Side around 9:30 on Monday morning.
The transformation was outrageous.
Thanks to the scheduled off day for Tuesday, the Cubs' home opener was bumped a day. The White Sox and visiting Tampa Bay Rays (making their lone trip to the South Side this season) have no such luxury, meaning the show must go on — even when the conditions make a snowball fight more likely than a baseball game.
Everyone who made the commute Monday morning knows how bad things were. To get the field ready for baseball, that's what makes you one of the best in the business.
Hats off to the Sodfather.
