This video is about the Angels Stadium, and the Angels play 81 games at their home stadium. That's what he meant. I'm pretty sure the dude knew that there were 162 games in a season.
They're casually playing Christmas music at a baseball game...
Timothy Alvis This was shot in June which is about half way until Christmas. They call it Christmas in June/July
and its the summer and hot
Jack Sports Champs it is probably just like Christmas night
Christmas in July game
I was just going to comment that
I would honestly love that job. There's only eleven of them, so they got to be making decent money. They got their own locker room, they get to go to every home game, and 9 times out of 10, the grounds crew gets to personally know the players of the team. Sounds like luxury if you ask me.
He means your playing 81 games at that stadium
No dumb ass
Kaden The gamer
Yes dumbass, there’s 81 home games in a season and 81 away games. That equals to 162 games total. Moron
Autism is a problem in this country
Matthew Burgess wtf do u mean 162 games they play 81 home games and 81 away games
Hdog Gallo
Yeah cuz it's 162 in the season
When he lifted up that A stencil from the pitchers mound, I almost came from satisfaction
Lol yawning percy
On my field we have drunk dads doing all the work
Same here
haha
Saaaaaaammmmmmeee
Being a head groundskeeper would be an awesome job!
jbvap it doesn't pay much
of course you're not going to be rich, but I imagine you make pretty decent money being the head grounds keeper and its not like you're doing that job because of the money.
jbvap Are you six?
Susie Arellano are you a douche? (hint: yes)
It's rewarding work. If you can make it up to a head GK job you can make a great living, but working just as a groundsman in the MLB, it's not uncommon to make minimum wage. It's a fun job if you're ok working 100 hours a week.
i would do that 4 a job looks fun
I agree
I do this as a part time job at a single A stadium and it is fun, however the hours are terrible. You get there hours before the stadium opens and you’re there an hour after the stadium closes
@@trevorantonson4272 they pay well?
@@trevorantonson4272 how much they pay?
@@trevorantonson4272 is the pay worth it?
btw, the distance between home plate and center field is 396 or 16th of a mile. Thats 132 yards which is 4 yards longer than an American Football field from back of End Zone to back of the opposite End Zone. For our Canadian teams its 122.22 Meters or .12 kilometers.
Brian Savage isn't an American football field 120 yards from end to end?
Caleb Wulfekuhle ikr he is basically saying each endzone is 16 yards
ofir sh THERE IS A DECIMAL THERE! It does say .12 km
Please at least try to read the comment before saying something dumb like thst
Brian Savage it 12 yards longer not 4
Get a life kids
For everyone that's saying it's 162, yeah obviously, but he means they have 81 home games that they need to prepare the field for
Lol all these provoked commenting "oh there's 162 games in a season not 81! He doesn't know what he's talking about"... theres 81 home games people use ur heada
A Baller he has a burger as his profile picture.... How the hell did you get Yankees out of that?
Use your grammar then. Heada->head
@@ar_cubing_gaming9865 actually thats not grammar, its spelling
yeet yeet
It was the way he said it.
When I hear him say 81 games and go to the comments to see how many baseball "experts" try and correct him when he knows what he's saying...hahaha
81 home games. FOOL
Same
sid the kid crosby he said 81 games a season which means he said the whole season is 81 games which it’s not
162 games in a season 81 at home
As someone who just prepares fields for my local boys and girls club, which is significantly easier than the majors due to much smaller fields and much lower expectations from fans, players and coaches, I can appreciate this video. Prepping baseball fields is very high in work, and is often overlooked or underappreciated.
I know what you mean i prep baseball and softball fields for highschool i work for its pretty cool once you have it down.
There's nothing like a Major League ballpark, I would love to see all 30 of them.
Went to a game last September of 2017, beautiful stadium i must admit.
This makes me want to go to a game
This is awesome 😮😮
What's with the Christmas Music?
xcrunner1998 this was filmed during the halfway to Christmas event that they have every year, sometime around June
Joseph Duenas apparently it’s in September in the description
Look at the scoreboard
xcrunner1998 who’s doesn’t like Christmas?
Lol
Helmet nachos looked great!
0:49 it's played in the hottest months of the summer and at the stadium there's Christmas music
Angels stadium has a game like that to celebrate half christmas in july!
SIMply HAVing a WONDERFUL christmas time
I think he means 81 home games
GO ANGELS!!!
Millennium Gaming jkk
1. posterior gray horns
2. posterior rootlets
3. anterior root
4. spinalganglion
5. denticLJlate ligament
6. posterior primary ramus
7. anterior primary ramus
That would actually be fun
well, the area of a circle is A = pi*r^2. Since the field is 90 degrees wide (from each foul lines, not including anything outside the foul lines) just get the area and divide that by 4. (3.14)(396)^2 = about 492651 ft, divide that by 4 and you get about 123163 square feet of ground plus a few more if you include the areas outside the foul lines.
Rake like a champion hahaha
at the begging i couldnt focus on what the people were saying all i could focus on was the music in the background... XD
I maintain a schools baseball field and nothing is funnier when people haven’t used it in 2 months and then they want it ready to go in 2 days not understanding the amount of labor involved
Who else had this pop up in there recommended??
Angles! Yass! That's my team! 😀
He knows it 162 games a season
7,624 sq.ft. now give this a like cuz that was hard as f*ck
I love Christmas mickos
81 home 81 away 162 total
Wow I want that job!
Its kinda like working as stage crew in theatre, waiting for scene changes, interval etc
I have a question that probably won't get answered but do the members of the grounds crew ever get to meet or get autographs from the players?
Aidan Fean they are expected to be professional and not ask the players for autographs or treat them like they are fans. It's part of the expectations of the job. They definitely meet the players and are around them but they can't get autographs, not on the job at least.
wow I work security out at the big A there's things I didn't even know :)
This is why baseball is the best sport.
It's 162 games in a season
MacKa AlpaCa 81 games at 1 field. 81 dispersed between 29 others.
Frozen Lava undertake the reply but you don't play all 29 other teams in the league in one season
Mateo Gonzales it's 81 home games + 81 away games = 162 total games
Wiggins Inc. he's talking about home games
He wasn't talking about 81 home games, he was talking about the players running around in "81 games per season". Nothing to do with just home games.
It called a 7th inning stretch
The reason he said 81 is because a team has 81 home games
Grounds work for the fields is lot of work only problem to it your going to have to have patience because it gets really old real fast
there are 162 games not including post season
He's talking about the games played at home
They take care of the field every day
@@Cowpoke.503 all 12 guys are not there during long road trips because all that needs to be done is mowing. Sprinklers are automatic and no stripes or infield dirt work needs to be done.
Y was there a christmas song in the background?😂
I would do it just for the recliner😂😂
My guy said 81 games a season😂
Triple g money Giordani at home bro 🤦♂️ use your brain
Let's go Angels
Why is there Christmas music playing when they were meeting the head groundskeeper
The Los Angeles angels of Anaheim = the the angels angels
Its about 100,000 sq feet of space to maintain
do they use hybrid grass?
I want to sign up for that
RIP Tyler Skaggs
There is 164 games in a mlb season! They have home games usually 82 home games
Joshua Luellen 162 and 81 home games
Oops I play baseball and I forgot. I usually watch baseball
Anyone else notice the Christmas music in the background?
He just said 81 games a year

xygomorphic44 I'm saying it's a Christmas song
162 games but 81 home games
It's 81 home games and 81 away sooo...
Each player would hold 44 feet of it was distributed evenly
That's looks like a job for me
Should show the field while its covered in a shiton of dirt for supercross.
81 home games*
Dream Job
So......why are they playing a Paul Mcartney Christmas song in the background
Isn’t their 162 games a year 82 is in basketball
What's their salary?
I like the guy with more hair on the bottom of his face than the top of his face.. he's good.
Hate to break it but Anaheim isn't in Los Angeles.
It’s a full football field
It's a lot
He said 81 games a season
81 home games
This is interesting and all, but why was there a Beatles’ Christmas song playing?
Jesus that's a lot of games. I thought they played like 80 so r they playing every day?
Christmas song playing?
They literally play twice as many games.
Crisp
81 games multiplied by 2, then you got how many games in a season
This guys make up makes him seem like he's Jacob Marley. Still interesting though.
How are you so pasty working in that sun?!?
This guy apparently doesn't want to
By saying ‘the math’does that mean look it up on google
4752 inches
What would be more important how it looks or how it performs? Or is it both?? Anywho go Halos!!
my dad does this but for golf courses? Gets over 120k a year. I wounder how much this guy makes.
Why is Christmas music there
Why is there Christmas music
162 games a year
not more work than I'd think, I knew that shit wasn't easy
Jackson Roth there's 81 home games and 81 away games for each team and that equals 162 games overall, they get somewhere around 20 days off during the regular season, so they play around 8 of every 9 days
DeAwesomeGamer okay, I know this. I've played baseball since '03, currently playing for MapleWoods MCC (where Pujols went) so I know they put a lot of effort in. I've witnessed it haha
DeAwesomeGamer I know this is an old comment but I think you replied to the wrong comment and I saw the one I think you meant to reply to.
