Even with spring training games well underway, it's hard to imagine that games will be played in Boston within a month. It's tough to determine exactly how many feet of snow has piled on in Fenway Park, but it's high enough to bury the right field fence. How will they manage to clear all that snow? I mean, look at this:

Luckily, the Director of Grounds David Mellor is up to the task. He shared a bit of insight as to how his crew will go about the seemingly impossible task.

That's right. Two tons of black sand in one day. I've never met David Mellor, but I get the feeling that if anybody can clear the snow before Opening Day, it's him.
