We Have a Sprinkler System for Our Turf Field
Before you go off on how absolutely insane that sounds, just hear me out. I too believed the idea to be insanely stupid until I was informed of its purpose. Basically, they “water” the turf in the morning to cool it down in hopes that by the time the team comes out in the afternoon, the turf won’t be as hot. Unfortunately the system doesn’t work quite as well as one would hope since it gets so hot, so early that any benefit the water gives is almost gone. There’s an example, however, of how something that sounds so completely stupid can actually have a purpose.
Tomorrow we have to play at the field from the place down under (not Australia, the other “down under”). It’s grass, the sidelines are way too small, there’s very little seating, and the mosquitoes are killer. We’re taking at least two full cans of Off just for that last reason. This is, of course, talking about Terrell, so I may be making a post pretty early tomorrow rather than risk getting home too late.
