During a Chattanooga Lookouts home stretch, Nic Larson’s workdays typically span 16 hours. It is his job to feed, clothe and clean up after the team.
As the clubhouse manager for the team, he is usually at the stadium by 9 a.m., with enough bread, milk and fresh fruits and veggies in hand for 35 men. “A lot of people are surprised how much they eat. They are constantly eating,” Larson said.
Larson spends much of his day preparing or picking up food for the team. The Major League affiliate Minnesota Twins have a health-conscious program and “want their players to eat well,” he said. The players are there from 1 p.m. until the game is over, so they eat two meals and graze on an array of snacks throughout the day.
After the game, Larson tackles a pile of clay- and grass-stained uniforms and shoes with an arsenal of cleaning products, but said that even the toughest stains usually come out easily thanks to a dual-step product called “Slide Out.”
His evening is finished when he hangs the uniforms to dry and vacuums, leaving everything ready for the next game.
