Lawn Care Tips from “The Sod Father”

T-Mobile Park is eerily quiet this spring. No one knows when the first Seattle Mariners baseball game will be played there, but the emerald green grass, as lush as a thick carpet, will be ready.

Mariners head groundskeeper Bob Christofferson, affectionately known as “The Sod Father”, and his crew have been carefully tending to the field since it was installed just a few months ago.

“We’re going to put in a new home plate. There’s some work to do in the bullpens, but we’re 99% there,” said Christofferson.

Bob, like many of us, has been working from home these past few weeks.
