There used to be a good article on hydrating and working in the heat on cactusumpires.com, but I can't find it on the site now.
Basically - just as most of the others have already said:
1. Start hydrating 2-3 days before you will be working in the heat.
2. Water is best, I usually have some sports drink as well for electrolyte replacement and flavor.
3. Avoid Caffiene - it is a diuretic and will flush water from your system.
4. A small towel kept in ice water in the cooler feels really good between innings.
5. If you don't live in the area and are not used to the heat, make yourself take a drink every half-inning during the game.
