    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
