Grass Basepaths

Pipe down you grumpy umpires. Some of us wear more that one hat.

I've seen it, and it doesn't work. You'll get wear marks that look crappy after a while. I've also seen it done with artificial turf. That's better, but the plastic grass is just awful for a lot of reasons.

I've seen it (well, at the HS level, not LL level) and it can work. You're just trading one set of maintenance for another.

Wasn't being grumpy. He asked a question on an umpire board... I made the assumption he was an umpire and truly did wonder why he was worried about what he asked about.

Is there a www.groundskeepers.com out there?

I do not even understand the nature of the question on this board. Sorry but some of us have no idea what people are worried about when they ask these questions. And you have yet to answer why this question was asked.

Peace

Yikes!

I don't get in a tizzy when folks post about those plastic Gerry Davis drawers, which no self respecting umpire would pull on, yet some get riled up about grass vs. Turface.

Fellas, I have two recommendations for y'all. Blue Moon ale, or Zaya Rum. Life it far too short to get fired up about who's turf someone is stepping on. ("That's a joke, son" - F.H. Leghorn)

The GD pants are the best fitting pants on the market today. If you don't like them, you're the one with a problem, IMO.
