For day games in the summer, I carry a small cooler with a slushy mix of ice and water, a tablespoon of spirits of ammonia, and a blue rag. I put it in the dugout and when I feel like I need it I whipe my face, neck and arms down with the cold wet rag, and then put the rag around my neck.
I worked a 10 innning tournament game last July that started at 11 am and was 95 degrees by the time it was over and without that cooler I think I would have passed out.
I also drink plenty of water.
