Head groundskeeper Gary Martin was tabbed the league’s nominee for STMA Sports Turf Manager of the Year (Short Season/Rookie), with leadership lauding the crew’s professionalism and game‑day preparation [1][2].Today, the same impeccably kept surface is home to the River Turtles in the Appalachian League, a backdrop that continues to elevate summer baseball in Pulaski [3].
