The Sodfather: A Game to Remember

By Hannah Sundwall

Roger Bossard, better known as the Sodfather, was tested during Monday’s game vs. Kansas City.

The Sox and Royals were delayed twice before the game was officially suspended in the bottom of the fifth inning with the game tied 1–1.

As the stadium cleared out, Bossard and his crew got to work to repair the damage that had been done.

“I have a 24-man crew and we stayed close to 10:15 p.m. last night. We scraped close to three tons of conditioner off. The problem with the groundskeeper is that when you scrape it off, then you have to start adding stuff back on because the condition for the ball to bounce is the amount of material or conditioner that you put on the field.
