The Comerica Park groundscrew has sure got quite the task on their hands.
Brad Galli of WXYZ-TV in Detroit shared an image of the Comerica outfield grass looking in bad shape ahead of the Tigers game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday thanks to a Metallica concert two days prior.

The show was part of the heavy metal band’s WorldWired Tour, and the outfield damage was reportedly exacerbated after the fact by heavy rains.
It’s a seemingly fitting turn of events for the Tigers, who are 39-48 on the year and are floating near the very bottom of the AL Central. At least Joe Maddon might be able to offer them his empathy.
