The Sodfather chronicles the 80-year career of George Toma, who many consider the greatest groundskeeper of all time.
George rose from hardscrabble beginnings in the anthracite coal region of northeastern Pennsylvania to manicure sports fields in stadiums and ballparks all over the world.
While doing so, he brought attention, respect and honor to a profession.
In many ways George Toma became an artist.
Green grasses and artificial turfs were his canvases and Super Bowls his masterpieces.
Nobody alive can carry Georges shovel, former Kansas City Chiefs general manager Jim Schaaf said.
George has two creeds.
The first is a work ethic where one gives his best effort - and then some.
The other is that the best insurance for an athlete is a safe playing field.
Georges insistence on safe fields created a conflict at times with the NFL and he gives his views as only he can - to the point with no punches pulled.
If you treasure people who dedicate their lives to a craft, this book is for you!.
