The men responsible for the baseball gem that is Parkview Field rarely get their due – NewsChannel 15 Sports decided to change that. We spent a night following the TinCaps award winning grounds crew and their leader Keith Winter. Winter has been with the TinCaps for the last four seasons – the last three in a row, he and his crew have been honored as having the best field in the MidWest League. Winter worked in television for 25 years before deciding to go into field management fool time. He began his career with the Great Lakes Loons before coming to Fort Wayne. He and his crew regularly work 18-hour days during the regular season on game nights  but the finished product is definitely worth it.
