The grounds crew does more work than the actual players.

[@laa0fa502]

I get what you're saying but no. Only about 1/3 of the games are at home so the players work less hours but the grounds crew has less work

[@MsCwebb]

@@laa0fa502 The Grounds crew works every day. Not just home games.

[@laa0fa502]

@@MsCwebb but that doesn't require the full crew. It's usually just 1 or 2 guys doing all the standard upkeep

[@MsCwebb]

@@laa0fa502 Yeah only a few full timers

[@PadreLove]

The time they put in long before the players arrive and long after they leave sure is impressive. It goes to show just how much work it takes to play 9+ innings huh?

[@Jacks.Outback]

Interesting

[@PadreLove]

Thanks for watching!

[@patrickbreiding310]

I work on the grounds crew for a triple A team. It’s the best way to spend a summer!

[@PadreLove]

Wow, sounds amazing!! What's your favorite part of the job?

[@hollywoodhiggins1576]

Ive been there an caught puig home run ball! One of the best experiences of my life!

[@ricorico5197]

Back in the 80s this was the worst infield in majors, and that was during the artificial turf era when players despised playing on turf. Now it’s perfect!! Great job

[@jmar28a]

I agree totally! Just check out the 1988 World Series! Dead grass all over the whole field!

[@PadreLove]

Wow, you are bringing us wayyyy back! Thanks for watching

[@scott1564]

Not arguing but how could anywhere in Southern California have the worst turf in MLB? I mean, you had Arlington Stadium in the middle of Texas summers to compete with. Atlanta's field wasn't far behind.

[@jaredhowell7536]

It’s honestly annoying how these guys who make the games possible are never talked about. If we didn’t have them we wouldn’t have games here

[@PadreLove]

This is such a good take. We tried to shed some light on that with this piece and I'm glad you brought that up. Thanks for watching Jared.

What happened? Did you follow your dreams??

[@DannyTsieso]

Nah, life led me down a different path. I’m living a dream, just not that one. It still looks like an amazing job though.

[@jamiecreange4799]

My dad Milton Creange was a groundskeeper in the 70s I grew up at dodger Stadium but back then it was just him and another man Scotty

[@PadreLove]

Wow! He must have some amazing stories to tell!

They also have the best weather conditions, it’s probably a lot harder to do the same job in Cleveland.

Good point!

Pretty impressive. Those are reel mowers not the crappy rotary mowers.

[@Danp34332]

The field looks great, but god that stadium is dated with beige everywhere.

[@philipkram4063]

It’s supposed to be colored like a beach you can see it if you look

[@shookieshakers8450]

No duh it’s the second oldest stadium in baseball

[@Danp34332]

@@shookieshakers8450 it’s the third oldest, still 50 years newer than Fenway and Wrigley, those stadiums don’t look like crap either.

[@chosen1one930]

4 hours to double cut the outfield? Thats horrible, you guys need to come practice on golf courses, we could walk mow and double cut in 2 hours or less with the straightest lines. Practice on a golf course, nothing is flat and our lines are always straight.

[@alexmercado1702]

It looks like there’s only one guy doing it though. Golf courses have 3-4 guys on greens and multiple on tri plex machines or fairway units

[@geneschwartz]

Ya come to golf course and try to cram 10x what these guys in a day laser straight lines and tell me about grounds maintenance.

[@geneschwartz]

@@alexmercado1702 im one guy at my course and uneven terrian these guys have the easier cutitng job those fields are level 4 hours i do an area that big in an hour on a triplex. The staff here is straight milking

[@chosen1one930]

@@alexmercado1702 this shit is easy as fuck, you do know golf courses are 100 to 1,000 times bigger than this. We walk mow 1 sq acre every day, thats 3 people cutting 21 greens, 18 plus practice putting green, prsctice chipping green and nursery green

[@chosen1one930]

@@alexmercado1702 we also double cut a lot, meaning cut everything than do it a different pattern without dew or anything to show you where you cut besides the patterns but for some people with Bermuda fairways and greens there is no pattern unless you certain cultivars of Bermuda that do stripe

Fenway park has a better field then they do. Hand down. Prove me wrong.
