Groundskeeper is Trapped by Tarp During Baseball Game

During a baseball game, when it rains, it is standard procedure to cover the field. Like with a game like cricket or tennis where the playing area is covered up, baseball also undergoes a similar procedure.

During one particular game, a female groundskeeper was running alongside her fellow employees when the incident occurred. At one point, she slipped while running on the wet tarp and tumbled to the ground. Normally, someone would have helped her up but the grounds keepers were trained to continue covering the field. They must not stop even if one of their colleagues falls, and this case was no different.

The lady, Robin Habisch initially held on to the tarp for dear life, but another member of the crew told her to let go. As soon as she did, she disappeared under the giant cover and was later fished out from under the cover..

The standard protocol for the groundskeepers is that when they fall, they need to let go and accept the fact that they will be covered by the tarp. Robin stuck to those rules, and would eventually make her way out from under the tarp to a thunderous ovation from the crowd.

She confirmed that she was uninjured, but did get a little ‘banged up’ during the ordeal. This is not the first time such an incident has occurred in baseball, there have been numerous occasions where an employee slips and is swallowed by by the tarp. It could happen while covering the field, or even uncovering it.

Afterwards, she was heckled a little, but she took it in good stride and acknowledged the cheers when she was fished out from the gigantic prison.
