SAN FRANCISCO — Replacement grass will be nearby and at the ready when the Sutter Health Park sod begins to deteriorate this spring with regular play from both the San Francisco Giants’ Triple-A team and the newcomer Athletics.
Given the unique circumstances of a major league club sharing its ballpark with a minor league affiliate from another franchise — the Sacramento River Cats — contingency plans are in place to maintain the grass quality.
Murray Cook, Major League Baseball’s field consultant and President of BrightView Sports Turf, said both longtime head groundskeepers from the Giants and A’s have been part of efforts to keep the playing surface in top form.
