Tarp Takes Out Baseball Grounds Crew

High winds last Friday in Joliet, Illinois lifted the pro baseball team's field tarp during a rain delay and carried the heavy-duty covering clear across the field. In its path were a dozen staffers, including team president Bill Waliewski, who were knocked off their feet and dumped into a corner of the field. It was all captured on a team Ustream channel The tarp rippled like waves across Silver Cross Field and swept away about a dozen crew members, including Waliewski who ended up buried beneath the tarp.
