Yes I've been there, and I have certainly seen a lot worse than at Sheldon Clark. Go to any field in Floyd County. Like I said a lot of little things like raking and tamping a little dirt back in the holes in the mound and raking a little dirt back in the holes at the plate does not require anything of a budget. It only takes just a few minutes of effort. It just takes a little pride by the players and whomever is running the show to do just little tiny minor things. I just think it's an easy excuse to blame stuff like that on someone else, when in my opinion that should be the players job to begin with. Go to any college field and most high school fields. It is the players that do the field maintenance work. I know you cant help the things like the sewer plant being next door, but you can at least make the field safe to play on for the players, ESPECIALLY FOR YOURSELVES. If you all just want to sit and wait for someone to do something for you, then chances are you never have anything.

I don't understand how you can sit and question the pride that Sheldon Clark takes in their team. I disagree wholeheartedly about maintaining the field being the players responisibility. The players responsibility is to practice hard and play hard. Nowhere did they agree to maintain their baseball field that their home county obligated themselves for that job. I don't think its the player and coaches pride that is in question my friend, I think its the county's pride in their school and team.
