We have had unprecidented rain this week. So far it has swamped out all area high school games. DD had a home game scheduled for Tuesday. We thought that the sun would come out by gametime so I went down to the field Tuesday morning and started raking the infield..... I was making great progress and feeling very smug and accomplished....then the skies opened up and it just started raining cats and dogs. Mother Nature was clearly laughing at me with my little gardening gloves and infield rake.
I have new respect for everyone out in DFP-land who hails from areas that get more than 12 inches of rain per year. My question to all you field heros is: HOW do you dry out an infield? I know you all play softball quite often.... how? I'm starting to think that your infields must be magic. Any field maintainence tips to someone completely unfamiliar with water falling from the sky would be greatly appreciated! I did buy a lottery ticket. I figure if I hit it big I'll donate an infield tarp. Until then.... help!
