Field of Greens

Living on Earth
The World

It’s not every day that your typical New Yorker gets to plant a garden, never mind make a mark on major league baseball at the same time. But, thanks to a New York Mets groundskeeper, that’s just what happened recently to W-N-Y-C reporter Amy Eddings. She sent us this reporters’ notebook from the “Field of Greens”.
