The Pirates' grounds crew had some major issues getting the tarp down during a rain delay Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, some creative jokester memorialized the grounds crew individual who struggled in his battle with the tarp by imprinting a body outline along with "RIP" and "7/7/15" at the scene of the incident.
