All dirt infield

[yankeebiscuitfan]

Right now I am watching the Yomiuri Giants take on the Yakult Swallows (home team) and the first thing that caught my eye was the all dirt infield. Weird isn't it?

The quality of the picture isn't great, but you'll get an idea of what I mean.

Looks like a softball field.

Looks like a softball field.

That's what I thought.

Betcha a look of seeing eye singles, shoot thru that infield. Infielders may also have to play far enough back, where you could still lay down a bunt.

Now I understand why those Japanese are good at bunting. They practice on this field. :laugh2:

Bet it's a mess when it rains!

That's why the Japanese championship of mud wrestling is located here as well. ;)

Just like a softball field...are all infields all dirt in this league?

[Mattrd26]

It does look like a soft ball field. I agree Rickd that would suck.

Is there even a mound? It looks flat.

Yes there is a mound. Hard to see though.

I bet the infielders get a lot of bad-hops here. I'd hate to be playing third base.

[Mattrd26]

It looks like their using brooms lol

I always hated to play third base. I always felt like some kind of target.
