No, baseball teams did it in the 1950's. Gone are the days of grounds crews putting a hump halfway down the line so that the leadoff hitter can get bunt base hits.
The Patriots took a lot of shit for it before they played the Colts in the playoffs about 5 years ago because they left the field uncovered before the game and it snowed balls all week.
