Playing the field: The St. Louis Cardinals have retained White Sox head groundskeeper Roger Bossard to design and build the playing surface at the new Busch Stadium, opening for the 2006 season. Bossard will install the same patented playing surface currently in use at U.S. Cellular Field.

 

Bossard has built fields for eight of the 12 newest Major League stadiums, including Detroit's Comerica Park, host to this year's All-Star Game. This is Bossard's 23rd year as head groundskeeper with the White Sox and 39th season with the team.

No kidding, he runs every good field in more than one major sport. His patented drainage system is what makes the field so good. He re-did fenway this year, and it happened to be like 11 inches lower than the initial one because he was able to strip off all the crap they didnt need.
