Ever wonder how they make designs in the mowed grass at ballparks?

I recently stumbled across this link that explains how it’s done.  Doing a little more web-searching, I found an MLBlog of an actual groundskeeping and turf expert.

My dad (who’s a certified master gardener) would probably "dig" this… now that I think of it, though, maybe not…he let me mow the yard most of the time when I was a kid…
