| Abstract/Contents: | Offers techniques for constructing a baseball diamond. Details several methods for constructing the infield, including constructing "the infield with a full infield clay surface, with a turf infield surrounded by clay base paths or using cutouts in the infield turf for home plate, the pitcher's mound and the bases." Discusses the base path construction, stating that "with a full clay infield, the construction and maintenance of the baselines should be the same as that of the infield clay area. The depth of the baseline clay material should be consistent with the infield material. If possible, try to incorporate a blend of 60 percent sand and 40 percent clay." Also describes home plate construction. States that "the home plate area should be relatively flat with home plate itself level with the surrounding clay material." |
