Abstract/Contents: | Discusses groundskeepers that possibly kept poor fields in 2007. Suggests that one should "check the sod at the sod farm. Pick what [one] wants, take a picture, then send one of [the] crew to watch the harvest. Also check with the grower to see if there was any disease or insect damage- this will give [one] weak sod." Mentions Trevor Vance and his crew of Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Kansas. States that the stadium was under constructions and that "everything is all torn up, with concrete and dirt everywhere. They had taken precautions, building a temporary, 4-foot high, wooden levee to keep the debris from washing down the tunnel." |
