The life of a groundskeeper is not always seen as a dangerous one, but Tuesday at PNC Park we saw just how dangerous it can be.
Wow, that tarp swallowed him right up. It really looks like the thing is coming to life. Can ghosts possess tarps? Maybe. Was this tarp possessed by a ghost? Almost definitely.
If only there was a team of world class athletes around to save him!

A happy ending to what could have been a sad story! Now that we know everything has turned out okay, let's watch it in SLOW MOTION:

The terror in his eyes is reminiscent of a scene out of a horror movie.
Wednesday, the Pirates made a little memorial for Tarp Man:
