Phillies vs. Tarp
From ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kirabug's Idea Files: Last night at Coors Field in Colorado, at the beginning of a rain delay, a sudden gust of wind caught up the tarp being stretched over the infield, flipping one of the grounds crew ten feet in the air and trapping him under. A horrific situation – the sort that leaves people dead.
But it didn't.
Almost the entire Philedelphia lineup – the visitors – charged out of the dugout to help, along with two of the Colorado Rockies and two umpires. The ESPN highlights has footage of a dozen Phillies hauling away at the tarp and throwing sandbags.
A lot of the idolizing of sports figures is just silly. But these guys who did this last night are heroes, every one.
