Sunday Rain Videos

So, I spent some time tonight looking online for videos posted by fans at Fenway Park on Sunday who recorded our awesome Grounds Crew rolling out the tarp during the bad weather. These 4 videos were some of the best I could come across. I think it's awesome to have been a part of what went on at the park that afternoon, looking back it was all a lot of fun.

The first video is the initial call of the delay, with crew members running to cover the mound and also seeing crew members start to rock the tarp off the wall before the camera cuts away.

The second video is the crew covering the infield and one member working in the bullpen. The song "Love, Reign O'er Me" by The Who is playing while we pull out the tarp.

The third video is the uncovering of the infield and the work that begins to prep the infield for play again. You can hear "Thunderstruck" being pumped over the speakers.

And the final video is just showing work building up the sides of the tarp with the song "Blame it on the Rain" playing over the public address system.

In the first video I'm in dead center, which will be hard to identify me, while the tarp is being rocked to roll out. In both the second and third videos I'm in the right-of-center part of the tarp pulling the tarp. In the 4th video, I could be anywhere, we were running around like crazy!

Oh, and as I mentioned the other day, the coolest part, which you can sort of tell in these videos is the crowd reaction to our hard work. The fans, teams, and umpires really appreciated what we were doing, and you can hear the crowd volume pick up as the tarp is being fully applied and removed. What a rush.

Hope you enjoy these as much as I did! Go Red Sox! Oh, and an entry from the last 2 days was just posted below, thanks again for reading!
