Wrigley Resodding Project - Up Close And Personal, 11/14
With the sod actually being laid today, I thought it was time to go to the ballpark and have a look at what's going on there.
The "knothole" is open, obviously to give the workers access, and as you will see in the photos below, to get the sod from outside to inside.
It was cold and windy, but it still felt like baseball.
Left to right:

Closeup of the infield -- you can clearly tell that the crown has been leveled
Sod lined up inside park, workers installing sod in infield, closeup of RF wall -- the padding has been removed, to be replaced later

Yeah
Should be fun. AND YES. He could turn and sell that place in 10-15 years for more than double.
I hope one day to get a bunch on BCBers over for pre/post game.

As long as its a leg lift and not a squat
Hey, any sightings of the cover material they're putting over the sod?

None so far.

THE THRILL OF THE GRASS
Equally important is that this is the same book which contains the short story THE LAST PENNANT BEFORE ARMAGGEDON which is easily the greatest piece of fiction ever written about the Cubs.
So seriously get copy of this book ASAP.
