Dalton Deckert’s new workplace has a strict dress code, but it won't last forever.
Any groundskeeper who doesn't wear the attire to fit construction site safety protocol isn't permitted to work on the field. Deckert sports a neon vest, clear protective glasses and a clunky hard hat whenever he visits O’Brate Stadium, Oklahoma State's new home for baseball. In the sticky late summer, Deckert and his co-workers suited up in long pants and steel-toed boots as they tested the irrigation system and tended to the newly laid sand and sod.
“You’re sweating pretty much instantly,” Deckert said.
