The last time the Chicago White Sox opened their home season in front of a full crowd of fans was April 5, 2019. Their opponent — the Seattle Mariners — was the same as this year’s. However, many things were different just three years ago.
For starters, the White Sox lineup featured the following:
- Welington Castillo behind the plate (and hitting cleanup!)
- Yonder Alonso at designated hitter
- Jose Rondón at second base
- Leury García in right field
OK, so maybe not everything is different.
