All To' Up

Generally when the team is on the road, the stadium becomes rather lonely and often goes into hiding underneath multiple tarps. But on Thursday morning, the park had a new glow to it.

Upon first look one might have thought AZP hosted a Monster Truck Rally the night before. Unfortunately, it was just the grounds crew aerating the field, which they do once a summer.

I don't want to bore you by describing the tedious process of aeration, so instead we asked our grounds crew to describe the process.

"Aeration is a lot like life, it's gotta happen."

"I aerate the best when I'm listening to Creed."

"This blue machine does most of the work for me."

"The more I learn about aeration, the more I keep to myself. Are you sure you want to know more?"

"It keeps the deer away."

"I'm Irish, in case you couldn't tell by my middle name...Kilpatrick."

"If we had to aerate more than once a year, I'd go back to being a doctor."
