In The Outfield, originally uploaded by Chris S Thorpe.
The rough dirt surface along the base of the outfield wall is meant to "warn" ball chasing players of the wall's proximity. Seeing it up close is much more impressive than on TV. I realized that so many "routine" deep fly outs are far from routine or easy! While sections of the wall are padded many sections, such as this heavy chain-link area, are unforgiving.
