| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses maintenance of the skin, or non-turf areas of baseball fields. States that "the skin surface should provide for uniform ball response and good traction for running, stopping, and sliding. Equally important is how much it's playable under various soil-moisture and weather conditions." Explains that "the most common recommendation is for a soil texture of 50% sand, 30% silt, and 20% clay, with the sand optimally being an equal mix of sharp and round sands." Also suggests the use of conditioners, mentioning that "the two most prevalent conditioners are calcined clay and vitrified clay." |
