Time Lapse Shows Australian Cricket Field Converted for Baseball

((ht: mlb.com))

This video is pretty cool. And we are suckers for a good time lapse video.

MLB.com shows what it took to convert the Sydney Cricket Grounds in Austrailia to a Major League Baseball ready facility.

And it appears it took quite a bit.

For those of you who don't know. Technically, baseball's regular season will begin this weekend down under as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks square off for a pair of games.

 Several Dodgers will not make the trip and the players don't appear to be overjoyed about flying across the Pacific Ocean and back for two games--but that's another story for another day.

In the meantime, enjoy this video:
