Now, that's a good idea...

I have a half gallon insulated water bottle with a nylon cover and carrying strap that I take to games. I'll put it outside the field if at all possible. If not, I'll look for a place on the fence where I can hang it so it hangs on the outside of the fence. If the fence is too high for that, I'll look for a place where it is reasonably out of play and protected by a fence post, gate, etc. to minimize the possiblity of a batted ball hitting it.
