Reply to The grass making its debut today at #SBLVII was developed by USGA-funded research, and is the same turf on which you'd play 18! by Bears9Titles

I put some normal midiron Bermuda in my backyard in Peoria last May. It is dormant now, in mid-winter. I did not overseed this year, to avoid the rye competing with the Bermuda roots over the winter.

I think that’s what these turf “experts” need to do. Let the Bermuda base grow strong for a year or so. Then overseed in the next fall for a beautiful green field with a tough base. Probably be much better than what they had on Sunday night.

Reply to World Series champion, TV analyst Tim McCarver dies at 81 by gilbertsquatch

Tim McCarver was my grandmother’s brother. According to older family members, he forgot about everyone when he started playing pro ball in St. Louis. I was SUPER young when I met him at Tim McCarver stadium in Memphis, and he treated me and my brother like we were fans looking for autographs.

Having said that, everyone in the family was still proud to claim him. This news is definitely saddening, and I wish I would have been able to know the man better. I hope he rests in peace.
