The grass — specifically the infield grass — was cut twice a day on some occasions. Monitoring and maintaining the stadium grass is the responsibility of head groundskeeper Roger “The Sodfather” Bossard. Bossard has been in charge of the grounds for the Sox since his predecessor retired in 1983. Who was his predecessor? His father, Gene Bossard, who oversaw the field for the 43 years prior. Roger started with the Sox in 1967 and even had his own bobblehead day in 2011.
