In an unexpected report on Tuesday, Braves reporter Joe Patrick revealed that former SF Giants reliever and current Braves closer Mark Melancon has been operating a turf company for some time.
Diamond Turf, based in Florida, offers standard backyard artificial-grass landscaping but also claims their product is capable of covering athletic fields.
