Chicago White Sox

When we showed up to U.S. Cellular Field this morning it was pouring. Rain was in the forecast for the whole day in Chicago.... but that would not deter us. Head athletic trainer Herm Schneider did a great job moving all the stations inside and having plenty of information for the kids to learn. Donald Hooton of THF started it off with his talk and then they broke up into 5 groups. There was a pitching station, hitting station, outfield station, infield station, and conditioning station.... all inside. It all went great even though it was pouring outside. The weather doesn't always work with us, but the teams are great at making it happen even with bad weather and the White Sox did absolutely that. Thanks to Laina Myers and Dan Puente for setting everything up. Great Event!
