Last week was my last day employed as a groundskeeper for the Oakland Athletics. Thank you to the Coliseum, the players, the staff, the fans and the crew for the best 8 years of my life.
Ahead of his retirement, Angels Director of Field & Ground Maintenance Barney Lopas gave us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to maintain a Major League Baseball field! โพ๏ธ

Congratulations to Angels Director of Field & Ground Maintenance Barney Lopas on his retirement after 30 years with the team!
Anyone else dealing with a rough transition? Overseeded latitude.
Had a super hot end of March in the triple digits and now weโre in perfect rye growing season but all I got are stems and seeds rn. Any help is always appreciated.
Weโre down to .5โ rn
@ZonaGrassGuy Well it was 102 the last week of March and the past few weeks were in the 60โs. Just ass backwards. I couldโve at least slowly burned out my rye if we slowly got hot but instead now itโs push push push.
@ZonaGrassGuy Well Iโm in SoCal now. I probably wouldโve been fine in NorCal haha. We were at 5/8โ and 3/4โ but those streaks started bushing up so we had to drop down. Weโve added some sand but these stems and seeds just donโt wanna go away.
