Punxsutawney Phil will have something to say about the four home games in March.

Kind of a tangent but I’ll submit it any way on this baseball thread. I was at one of my favorite watering holes this afternoon, awaiting some takeout, and chatted up the guy at the next stool. As it turns out, it was John Hillerich as in Hillerich & Bradsby, creators of the Louisville Slugger baseball bat, made here in Louisville of course. Whether you were a great baseball player or, like I was, a recreational player who loved the game, the Louisville Slugger bat was a part of your life

Yep. That's all we used back in the day when I was a Little League all-star shortstop.

You have good taste in watering holes. I played LL and Babe Ruth baseball and my father was Treasurer of the league in charge of buying equipment. He bought all the bats, balls, uniforms, etc. from "Coyle and Palazzi Sporting Goods" - Togo's company with partner Don Coyle. I never knew him to buy from anyone else.

Does anybody thinks it time to turf the baseball field and add a video board?

Silly for any New England school to schedule home games in March, not matter what the surface. Baseball should not be played in 30 d, or less with wind chill

We schedule these March games and 'hope' the weather cooperates - as there is almost always some snow cover, we have moved these home games to the baseball complex in Northborough which has multiple artificial surfaced baseball diamonds Does anyone know the cost of installing artificial surface to our baseball facility ? Hey, we'd be able to guarantee our football season ticket holders their tailgating on the outfield regardless of weather !
Regarding Fordham, they only had to re-surface the infield as the outfield is mostly the football field, already artificial.

One of the great baseball facilities in the area, and used through the summer. Fitton Field does not need artificial anything

But it's on the campus of Holy Cross and it is meant to be used for the baseball team. With their season staring in February, and many northeast teams still having the sport, you want to be able to play games? You have to go to Northborough to play games? MLB teams even have artificial turf.

Amen. Baseball has survived several horrendous assaults over past 50 years: artificial turf, designated hitter rule, steroid usage.

TWO MLB yards have a plastic field. That's it. TB and TOR.

Fitton Field is next to the river on a flood plain. If flooding occurs, remediation on a turf field will be costly, possibly requiring complete replacement. Insurance cost will be expensive vs maintaining natural turf.
Whose going to write the check for field turf?

back to the schedule - I see in the 'crusader nation' mag that I recvd this week that the third southern trip is Feb 21-23 at Old Dominion - we certainly don't shy away from stiff competition during the first month of the season.

One of my all time favorite players. Followed Dick, then called Richie, Allen beginning his rookie year with the Phillies in 1964.
A team that broke my heart with their epic collapse during the last two weeks of the season. They had already printed tickets for the World Series, before the Cardinals made their run and won the National League Pennant.

Can blame that collapse on Gene Mauch being completely clueless about how to manage a pitching staff.

Still remember that summer vividly. Jim Bunning (later U.S. Senator from Kentucky) pitched a perfect game against the NY Mets on Father’s Day.
Not too many Mauch fans in Philly after that September.
