DON'T HIT THAT HELMET!

[woolnojg]

Don't forget that the entrance to the dugout is a popular dumping place for equipment. Bats, gloves, helmets and other objects foreign to the natural ground can be found there. Coaches would look at me with a "What... is this a baseball game of a housekeeping contest?" look on their faces when asked to clean up the area. Lots of times in JV or Freshman games the ball comes into the infield for a play and just keeps on going. Known to happen in Varsity on rare occasion.
