On Friday, the White Sox played the Oakland Athletics on what was dubbed 90s Night. The crowd at Guaranteed Rate Field mostly showed up for the promise of a Vanilla Ice concert after the game. I know that to some it may be shocking that no one really cared about the baseball game, but when the two teams in the game are two of the three worst in baseball (thanks to the Kansas City Royals for making sure the White Sox stay put at third-worst,) you can understand why.
After sitting through a 12-4 thrashing at the hands of the worst team in baseball, fans were told that the postgame concert was cancelled, leading to “sell the team” chants.
