It hasn't been that long since bringing water to the field was taboo. That's a good change.
I have wondered where to put the water bottle. I don't want to use a dugout, but I want the water close enough to drink between innings.

My water is kept in my bag that I hang from the side of the backstop. It's out of the way from any play that might happen in that area but it's easy access to me when I need it.

I personally like iced water because on hot days, it cools your core temperature and makes you feel cooler. Around here, it's usually pretty humid and you sweat quite a bit and the iced water help regulate your temperature. Water will do the trick by itself but I don't particularly care for warm, tepid water. The colder the better. I'll sometimes put a powdered sports drink in my water jug but that get's expensive after a while.
