Hydrate properly. Just like your car, put the coolant in BEFORE you get on the road. If you wait until you are on the side of the road with your hood up and a geyser coming out of the radiator, you have waited too long.

Drink, drink, drink, drink before your first game. Drink until your urine is clear. And then continue to drink between games. Then you will be able to call as many games on a hot day as you need.

I am from GA where there is as much heat as anywhere. The water you drink does not have to be cold, although it does taste better cold. But I have guzzled many bottles of warm water for hydration and it was very effective.

The difference between being properly hydrated and not is like this:
Yes: Man, it is hot today, but it is not really bothering me
No: Man, this heat is really taking it out on me.

Hydrate properly and you won't need any sophisticated cooling systems.
