Unfenced Field w/High Grass

[danreeves1973]

2 questions.

First, being as snow is a foreign concept to us in Texas, what is a snow fence?

Second, with no fence and the aforementioned pond, I'm guessing if the fielder makes a legal catch, and then falls in the pond, batter out, runners get 1 base if any on, and delay of game for 3 minutes while we all laugh?

Ozzy,

In my association #1 seems to be the most common way of dealing with similar situations. I have never experienced a situation where the fielders have lied about the ability to play the ball when either my partner or I get out there. If they did I'd probably have to award home to the BR.

It's plastic, and orange, usually on the side of the highway to reduce the effects of snow drift...

Just as bad, if not worse than the snow fence, is the black temporary fence. Again, only about 3 1/2 ft high and impossible to tell if a ball had bounced in front of or behind.

Huh. I remember when they were all made of wood slats & wire. They're also used in sandy areas to keep dunes from drifting.

ah yes, I know that stuff well, and hate it as well. Down here I've always heard it called barricade fencing, used to section off areas off road being worked on.
