In a mere week $317,000 worth of grass was laid out on Highland Community Park like one giant carpet.

"I can't wait to see it," said Mike Clingman, president of the Central Little League.

Because efforts to grow grass on the park that features several baseball diamonds would not have met the deadline date for the Opening Day ceremonies on March 13, the Highland City Council voted to approve the installation of sod grass.

Throughout the week more than a dozen men worked on putting on the grass blankets across the dozens of acres of land where the new baseball fields are located. The blankets of grass were loaded on a big truck and picked up by a tractor. Then men would roll the grass in the area desired. Once in place, they stamped it down.

Guards are protecting the area from thieves and the entire area is fenced. Other than birds flying in, the grass areas will not be in use until the Opening Day ceremonies.

"We have to let the grass take root," said Councilman John Timmer.

It was Timmer's idea to assure that the Central Little League starting date would take place with a fully intact park. Both Timmer and Councilman Larry McCallon were involved in the blueprints for the park and baseball diamonds with the previous. They felt it needed to be done.

Efforts to have grass seeded and grown in the baseball fields had passed the deadline necessary for it to spout in time. The last day to put grass seed in was the last weekend in October, and due to pipeline conflicts that had to be rectified, the deadline passed.

The City Council did not want to miss the most important deadline.

"It wouldn't look good," said Timmer during the City Council meeting several weeks ago.

Super-Sod is looking for humorous, adventurous, instructive, or inspiring tales with a lawn mower theme.

Here's a chance to tell on a relative about that "adventure" with a lawn mower or brag about your hard mowing child. Was mowing lawns a formative part of your youth? Super-Sod wants to hear such stories and anecdotes, or even poems and Haikus. The stories need not be long, a few sentences or a paragraph or two will do.

Super-Sod is running their Mower Story Contest in an app on their website and on their Facebook page and that means all entrants must have a Facebook account to participate. The story with the most votes win from Super-Sod The Allett Classic reel mower, so all entrants are encourage to share their entry with their friends and family to get out the vote for their story.

About The Allett Classic lawn mower: -It's a reel mower with 5 cutting blades; -Cuts like scissors, rather than the machete-like cut made by rotary mowers; -The Classic gives grass a clean cut (not the jagged cut like rotary mowers) and a clean cut means less water loss; -It's made for warm-season lawns (Zoysia, Bermuda, and Centipede); -It's easy to adjust mow height with only the turn of a knob; -Now a homeowner can have the golf course look: The Classic allows homeowners to cut warm-season lawns much lower than standard rotary mowers cut; -It has a back roller that gives lawns the beautiful striped look that's so desirable in nice lawns; -Gas powered; -Self propelled with a safety cut-off feature; -Cuts 17" wide; -It's built with a removable cartridge system: replace a cartridge of old blades with a new one or take just the cartridge to the shop for sharpening (rather than loading up and bringing in the entire mower).

The Mower Story Contest was launched March 26th, 2014, and will end at noon on Friday, May 2nd, 2014. The winner will be announced on Super-Sod's Facebook page at 2:00pm on May 2nd. Since Super-Sod is based in GA, FL, NC, and SC, the contest is good only in those states.

Super-Sod is a family-run business that employs experts in turf and horticulture. One of their most popular products has been their Soil3 organic compost, delivered in a cubic yard BigYellowBag, which they make partially from composted grass clippings from their sod production. Super-Sod continues to develop new garden products, foster gardening and landscaping, and always seeks to improve their farming practices, technology, environmental stewardship, and employee knowledge.

DETROIT -- If the sight of green grass wasn't enough salvation for Tigers fans after a winter of frozen tundra, the sight of an outfield without different-colored patches was a head-turner. The 15th Opening Day at Comerica Park was the club's first with new sod since 2007.

The opener provided the first real test for the new surface, which was laid down about a week and a half ago. The Tigers and Royals worked out on it Sunday, and Austin Jackson said he wanted to check it out and see how it felt. However, it was difficult to simulate the quick cuts needed by outfielders in game action.

"You definitely want to get your feet on it a little bit and see," Jackson said. "When you put cleats on, you want to see how it is. You have to get a good feel for it."

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said they checked out the infield during the workout on Sunday.

"The field looks great, actually," Ausmus said. "We had a quick infield in batting practice yesterday. Everything went well."

The new sod is Kentucky bluegrass trucked in from a sod farm in Colorado. The Tigers will have similar replacement sod ready for repair work at a sod farm in Michigan.

"It actually looks pretty good," outfielder Torii Hunter said. "I saw the photos a week ago. It didn't look good."

Hunter told reporters after the Tigers' 4-3 walk-off win that the footing was fine, though Jackson seemingly struggled to get a good jump on an Eric Hosmer first-inning double to right-center.

DETROIT -- Despite Justin Verlander making his seventh consecutive Opening Day start, the 2014 season has a new feel for the Tigers. They have a rookie manager, a revamped infield and a completely new tail end of the bullpen.
