Subsequent follow up: I also worked a varsity contest on the field recently. The visitors said nothing about the PP or HP.

Much of what I was thinking have already been listed. However, not listed was a loose, above the ground homeplate, which by its very nature could cause a number of issues, which could cause odd hops of the ball, become a projectile on a slide, could fold up and cause a trip or an injury on a slide or play...etc.

More to the point, though, is that we live in a litgious society. People would be more prone to sue a facility that does not meet specifications as laid out in the rulebook should their child be injured, than a facility that meets those specifications.
