Easy Fix To Be Tried On Warning Track
Norwich — The Baseball Stadium Authority and the Connecticut Defenders believe they have found a low-cost solution to drainage problems on the Dodd Stadium warning track for the coming year.
The city was to have replaced the warning-track drainage system this fall and winter, but both parties agree that an expensive renovation would be fruitless one year before the entire playing surface is to be replaced.
Authority member Gary Schnip has been in contact with field specialist William Dest on a proposal to use a machine that could cut fine vertical slits into the warning track to allow water to seep through to the drainage level beneath the surface material. The problem is that the top three inches of material has become packed down and too dense to absorb rain water, causing postponement of games when the playing field itself was fine.
The authority voted unanimously to explore renting the Verti-Quake machine — which attaches to a tractor — and experimenting with it this winter and spring, before the baseball season starts. The machine is used commonly on golf courses to improve drainage, Schnip said.

I must find a picture of the Verti-Quake! Oh, and there is this too.

The city's lease with the Defenders had called for the city to resod the playing field last fall, but that work was postponed until fall of 2007, when ESPN asked to use the stadium to film the mini-series “The Bronx is Burning” about the 1977 New York Yankees.

So, not only is ESPN going to make another bad movie (or since it is a miniseries -- movies) they are holding up much needed work on a baseball field. Way to go, Worldwide Leader.
