Playing into mid-October. Come on out and enjoy the special atmosphere of Trout Park Baseball.

Brick Wall Backstop Completed

Today we completed the brick portion of the backstop wall. Several bricklayers and laborers worked two long days laying 13 courses of hard red brick. Brick so strong that it will turn away the fastest of fast balls. The length of the brick wall backstop measures 210 feet going from the 1st to the 3rd base dugout.

Now we wait on the limestone caps to top off the brick wall. Then the netting gets installed rising forty approximately 40 feet into the air.

After the fall league ends we will be taking out the existing fencing, knocking down the current score booth and extending the field behind home plate. Batting averages will drop as more foul balls will be outs.

Thanks to Tom Cordogan and all the bricklayers and laborers that built the wall.

Concrete Poured

Once the netting poles were stabilized a trench was dug connecting the poles. The trench is approximately 42 inches deep and 2.5 feet wide. The trench is being filled with concrete to serve as a base for the brick backstop.

The brick work should be starting this weekend.

Once the brick work is complete then the netting will be put into place.

Things are moving along and the weather has been cooperating. We should finish the concrete today.
