Philly Inquirer did a whole story with the field tested on chemicals and so many Phillies of that era dying of cancer. Pretty scary stuff, now we have NexTurf with players playing on it from childhood through the pro's breathing in rubber pellets and chemicals along with getting into their bodies via brushburns etc. Concerning for sure...

“The Vet was green, fuzzy and full of poison. It would be like the Phanatic’s dick if it had an orgy with a couple strippers from the afternoon lineup at Club Risque.”

When asked if he preferred grass or Astroturf, Tug McGraw paused and said "I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf."Apr 9, 2018
Dick Allen said, about Astro Turf, “if horses can’t eat it, I don’t want to play on it.”
