Who let the dogs out?
More than 1,000 dogs and puppies filed into Guaranteed Rate Field to attend the White Sox game against the Indians on Wednesday.
Before the game, dogs and their owners walked around the warning track on the field, showing off their White Sox-themed outfits and costumes.
All the dogs and their owners were kenneled into the seats behind left and right field, but everyone was welcomed to walk into the dog park to see some of the White Sox most dedicated fans.
What could make a ballpark full of dogs even better? It was also $1 hot dog night.
Watch out Joey Chestnut, one giant St. Bernard named Duncan was seen eating three hot dogs in the concourse.
Here are some of the dogs who attended the game:
Evee is an energetic Pomerania, who isn’t camera shy. | Madeline Kenney/Sun-Times
Bandit is a Cockapoo, enjoying the game from the right outfield seats. | Madeline Kenney/Sun-Times
Jax is a Coonhound, who was rooting and howling for the White Sox all night. | Madeline Kenney
Lucy, a black lab, and Dixie, an English bulldog-beagle mix, patiently wait for their owner to share a hot dog with them. | Madeline Kenney/Sun-Times

In the eighth, Michael Busch tripled, and Wisdom, who had homered earlier, singled him home for the run that proved to be the difference in the Cubs’ 6-5 win.
Ball exercised the $21.4 million player option for next season. The hope is that he can overcome three left knee surgeries since 2022 and be available by fall camp.
