| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the renovations completed at Brackenridge High School's, in San Antonio, Texas, baseball and softball fields, stating that "sports turf managers from 24 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams joined forces to completely overhaul the school's sports fields as a community service project." Explains that the materials and equipment were donated by The Tore Company, Covermaster Inc. and Turface Atheletics. Describes the renovations conducted, stating that the sports turf managers "rebuilt the pitcher's mound, bull pen and batter's box, mowed and edged the turf, dragged the infield and incorporated field conditioner into the playing surfaces." Explains that "due to limited resources and high traffic, the baseball and softball fields had not received the attention needed to maintain high-quality playing conditions." States that the "field rebuilding event was held in conjunction with the 9th Annual Major League Baseball Groundskeeping Conference, which followed the 2007 Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA) Conference and Exhibition on [January] 17-20 in San Antonio, [Texas]." Concludes that "[the renovation project] gives...turf professionals an opportunity to give back to the community, and also provides them with a chance to network and learn from each other." |
