Take a close-up look at the infield at Citizens Bank Park through the eyes of a longtime member of the Phillies Grounds Crew!
Wright's job is to keep the infield at Citizens Bank Park in tip-top shape. And though he loved baseball, he never thought he would become a groundskeeper.
"My brother, who has put in his 50th year as a part-time day-of-game groundskeeper, gave me a call back in 1986 and asked if I wanted a part-time job," he said. "I said, 'Sure, when do I start?' He said, 'Today.'"His typical day involves cleaning, nail-dragging, mat-dragging, raking, and blowing away debris on the infield.Wright calls those items, 'errors,' and considers it his responsibility to level the playing field.
"We take pride in our work and that's what we're trying to do," he said. "Keep it looking beautiful." The Phillies will soon return to Citizens Bank Park, whether it is a continuation of the NLCS or for the World Series.
