Original Toronto Star caption: It's like the charge of the light brigade when the Jays grounds crew takes the field at the end of the 5th inning to restore the field to start-of-the-game shape. Here they are in action cleaning up; redoing the baselines and even carrying off an unruly fan who jumped on the field opening day.
