Tarp Pull Video from July 23

We often talk on the air about how in Minor League Baseball, everybody does everything. Tarp pulling is one example, as there are no twenty person grounds crews like the Major League teams have. It's up to the staff and interns to get it on the field.

Normally, that's not a problem. However, on July 23, a storm hit in the middle of South Bend's game against Beloit that cancelled the game and made it nearly impossible to get the tarp on the field. Some fans in a suite caught the carnage on film and put it on YouTube. Don't worry - Owen or I weren't in harm's way - we were watching comfortably from the press box waiting to go back on the air. Additionally, the severity of any injuries to anybody involved were just a few scratches and bruises.
