Worst Fields

Featured Replies

I got one for ya!

How about a field that is:

*350+ down the right field line and only 225 down the left field line.

Wasn't Ludlow's field like that? 250 ft down the right field line, 250 yards down the left field line?

At Oneida Baptist, its longer down the line than it is in centerfield.

 

The deminsions are something like 305 down the lines and 299 in centerfield.

 

The infield is dirt as well.

 

One other note is that there is a pig farm beyond the river on the left field side. Once the wind starts blowing in.....just remember to bring your nose plugs. Sometimes you can also hear the pigs squealing like their about to get slaughtered....once this happens you can't help but think that they're having bacon for breakfast the next few days. LOL.

Either there or Pineville. You are probably right though in saying Evarts is worse.

I've actually never been to watch Pineville at Pineville.If it's in the same league as Evarts it's pretty bad.But you could be right.

I won't say the name, but in right field there was a Library, 2 stories.

Letcher's old field huh? Well, I know one guy that would probably take that field right now, since they don't even have one.

 

The 14th is full of bad fields. Jenkins (I felt really close to Heaven when playing there), Jackson City, and the old Wolfe Co. field all hold their own as some of the worst fields in the state.

*Has a very tall net (estimate 100 ft. tall) in left field that extends up the back of the football stadium bleachers and then up the light poles for the football field. Thus, the view outside left field is the back of the football stadium bleachers.

*It has an extra foul pole just left of power alley that helps support the net. If you hit a ball over the net between this pole and the foul pole, it is a ground rule double not a home run.

*There is an eight foot tall concrete wall down both the left and right field lines.

*The outfield doubles as the parking lot for the football stadium in the fall.

*The visitor bleachers are only two rows high.

 

It's a site to be seen, but only once. If you have to.

 

This is Louisville Manual's field and it's pretty messed up but it actually has a very nice infield (or at least 5 years ago it was).

 

The groundrules at this place takes a couple of hours and the opposing coach is given a book detailing all the rules (just kidding by the way)

Ah, the memories! As I recall, having played right field there a couple of times as a visitor, the library also was uphill from the rest of the field, near the road. In addition, it was very shallow, probably only about 250 feet from home, so the right fielder had to basically play on the back porch of the library. Any ball hit in front of you that you had to charge, running downhill and then having to suddenly stop created a lot of adventures for the right fielder!

You're right and I didn't even mention, about rounding third to wide....which was about 8' in width and on an elevated bank, above a road.

 

There is also a field, which used to have a "water tank", of approx. 20'-25' in diameter, in CF.

Handy if one gets thirsty out there. :D

Dixie's Turkeyfoot Field. Building in center field has head high air conditioners sticking out that could decapitate a player tracking a fly ball.

Some of the other bad ones that I've seen in my days of scoring baseball games are Jackson County (actually the two they've used....the one in Sand Gap where the dugouts where less than five feet from the basepath & the one they use now that they call "The Ballpark at Tyner" which has some sort of shallow, thin ditch that's just beyond first base), Bell County (don't know if they've fixed it or not but their field used to barbed wire around the top of the outfield fence), Williamsburg (anytime you have a city park as your home field then you're asking for that title), & Knox Central (refer to to Williamsburg).

Still has barbwire on the top of the fences.

Fairviews is not good. Its a parking during football season.
