Abstract/Contents:Describes a "hill beyond the outfield fence at Kansas City's Municipal Stadium that was way too steep to get a mower on." Mentions that the problem was solved when "eight sheep [were supplied] to eat the grass on the hillside." Notes other teams who used "animals to help on the job." Concludes that "the sod company and the groundskeeper need a good relationship...When a field is sodded and that sod doesn't do the job and has to be replaced too soon, either the sod company or the groundskeeper is not doing his job."
