THIS WEEK’S FIELD TIP

Your field has been through a lot this summer. Maybe your season is wrapping up, or maybe you’re hosting some tournaments. Either way, now is the time to show what you got. Your reputation is determined largely by how well your infield skin plays — at least as far as players are concerned. And that’s what really matters, after all.
