Wet Fields
Common sense and good judgment should be exercised before stepping onto any of the baseball infields and pitching areas after it has rained. It has taken many hours getting the fields in "game shape" in order for the kids to play on the best surface possible.
It takes hours to get a field in good shape, and minutes to totally destroy it.
In the case where bad judgement prevails, be responsible and rake the fields smooth and fill in any low spots that might hold water (around bases and home plate).
Thanks for your consideration.
