The Grounds Crew

Posted on: June 18, 2010 by admin No Comments

Have you ever been to a game that was rained out or close to it? It can be amazing watching the field crew in action. The field or grounds crew can be a huge part of every game. They literally work hard to make sure the field is chalked, dragged and perfectly mowed right before game time. It actually is a very important and usually a well paid job to run a crew like this. You have to know lots about landscaping and how to keep a field such as this perfect at all times. Many people think that all the ground crew does is drag the filed some or rake it during the 7th inning stretch. Also many people see them drag the tarp on during a rain out. But be rest assured, they work constantly to make sure the field is perfect.
