| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Nietopski Field, the only regulation size baseball field in Brockport, New York, dedicated "in honor of long time coach and educator Ed Nietopski." Highlights the decision between seeding and sodding the field, stating that "discussion on seeding the field was a top priority as town employees finished up the final grade and the outline of the infield was finalized. The original specifications called for seeding the field with a blend of Kentucky bluegrass and perennial rye." Explains that "installing big roll sod was proposed for the infield and sideline portions of the field. Installing sod would give the infield immediate established turf that would allow for heavy traffic come spring and also eliminate the time-consuming hassle and cost of establishing the seedlings." Reports that "the time frame was approaching mid-November [2007] when the decision was finally made to sod the outfield area of the field." |
