|
| How do I take care of the field I am on when finished with a practice or after a came? |
| For games played on AAA, Farm, Minor, Major, Pony and Colt fields,
drag the infield with the wide broom. Basepaths should be raked evenly and avoid getting dirt on the grass. Rake the home plate and pitching mound areas, and make sure all dugouts are clean. |
