How do you get to be on an MLB field without playing, umpiring, or illegally trespassing? By becoming a member of a major league groundskeeping crew, like Jeff Fleetwood has.

Fleetwood, a teacher, and baseball coach at Mount Vernon High School in Alexandria, Virginia, is living the dream as he takes the field with the Washington Nationals grounds crew.

His forays into coaching and as a grounds crew member are a continuation of a diamond dream starting from playing baseball at both the high school and Division I college levels.

Fleetwood and Earl Holland discuss Fleetwood's baseball journey, what it's like being a baseball coach, and what it's like to attend the Army-Navy Game and how it's different from any other college football game.
