Pitching Circle
I wish, pretty sure that our's did that in the 70's when they put the diamond in. I just don't have the time nor the money to be dragging around clay and rebuilding every field before we play. Don't know if tamping will help, or some light water / soil mix and tamping or what- Olympctm
