Abstract/Contents:Provides advice to consider while constructing or renovating a baseball infield. Describes the typical layout of a newly constructed infield. Addresses certain issues pertaining to infield layers and how most designers overlook that if the "root zone has a very high rate of hydraulic conductivity and is capable of allowing water to pass through it efficiently, the only real benefit to any subsurface drainage is the control of ground water or high water table." Profiles Saint Rose High School in Belmar, New Jersey, focusing on the construction of a baseball field. Summarizes the construction process mentioning that "consideration on the part of all involved in the construction project allowed for a successful project and the construction of a safe, durable, and playable field."
