Roger Bossard, the White Sox head groundskeeper, scouted nationwide for dirt before settling on the mix provided by Partac Peat. (He uses sand under the grassy areas of the playing field.)Refer to Baseball Dirt. What type of business product would Partac Peat be since it is used in the making of baseball fields?
