Groundskeepers fashion canvas for national pastime

A perfectly manicured field is always stunning. But Major League Baseball’s groundskeepers — who were at Coors Field this week for their annual conference — don’t mind adding their own artistic touches. Whether it’s a pattern of starbursts or checkers, a club logo or a poignant design for a special occasion, the work of these behind-the-scenes professionals is part of the experience for fans in the park or watching on TV.
