| George Toma, now
retired, was a groundskeeper for 60 years. 40 of those years he was head
groundskeeper working with Major League Baseball and the NFL. He was the
head groundskeeper for the first 36 Super Bowls and Pro Bowls. He did the
playing fields at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles and the 1996 Olympics
in Atlanta. He was the #2 man for all 9 venues for World Cup Soccer. George
has also done the Olympics in Israel for the Macabee Games, which are the
Jewish Olympics. Back in the early years of his career, they lined the fields
with white coal ashes. During those days, he never realized that 60 years
later he would be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. With Pennington being in the business some 60 years and George being a groundskeeper for 60 years, they have over 120 years of combined experience and knowledge. George is known world-wide and has been dubbed The Nitty-Gritty-Dirt-Man, The Sultan of Sod, The Marquis de Sod, among others, so he has to choose only the best seed. |
