About 3½ hours before the Chicago White Sox met the Minnesota Twins Monday to start the biggest series of the season, manager Tony La Russa’s pregame media session in the dugout competed with a singer practicing over the Guaranteed Rate Field sound system.
La Russa began by discussing the mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park that killed seven people and injured more than 30 others.
The singer began by belting out a slow version of the “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
