White Sox DH Jose Abreu goes viral for makeshift tent in dugout

Temperatures in Detroit rose into the mid-90s on Wednesday afternoon during the Chicago White Sox’s game with the Detroit Tigers, and White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu had an interesting way of staying cool.

During the top of the second inning, cameras showed Abreu putting together a makeshift tent to keep himself out of the sun in the visitor’s dugout. He tied one end of a towel to the dugout fence, and used a bucket of chewing gum to weigh down the other side on top of a Gatorade jug (sitting on a cart). This created a taut canopy for Abreu to sit under.

Another camera angle showed that Abreu later added a second towel to shield the back of his neck from the sun.
