Coors Field Covered in Snow
After back-to-back postponements, the New York Mets finally got back onto the diamond Tuesday – but getting Coors Field ready for a baseball game was no easy task, and required the help of more than just the Colorado Rockies grounds crew.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson put on his boots and gloves and grabbed a shovel.

Dinger, who turned 19 on Tuesday, was put to work before he was allowed to celebrate.
This is how you clear 10" of snow off #CoorsField before 1st pitch. #Teamwork vine.co/v/bFPTHVawZxV

The Rockies head groundskeeper, Mark Razum, got to play with the heavy machinery.

Even Mets VP of media relations Jay Horwitz tried to help.
Doing my small part. In all honesty, I was shoveling the wrong way and they made me stop. twitter.com/Jay_HorwitzPR/…

You can’t even recognize the field before and after…until you try diving for a ball.
