OK, here's my trick to cool off while working the bases - this doesn't work on the dish.
Between innings have the trainer bring you a half cup of ice. Remover your hat and dump the ice into it. Put the hat with the ice in it back on your head.
Since most of your body heat exits through your head, the ice will cool the blood flow there and will subsequently cool you off. No, the water doesn't run into your eyes - it runs down the back of your neck (which also feels good). Yes, your hat will get wet. After the game set it out and it will dry. The ice will last about two innings. Repeat as needed.
