Kit for baseball field

Abstract

A kit provided for putting in place a regulation size baseball field in a suitably sized park, playground, pasture, sandlot or the like. The components of the kit are contained in a small compact duffle bag and comprise in addition to the bag, 3 regulation size bases, home plate, pitcher's plate, Velcro patches approximately 2 - 4' X 2 - 4', 5 metal stakes, a measuring tape marked along its length at 60 feet 6', 90 feet, and 127 feet 33/8'. Preferably there is included in the kit, a brush for cleaning off home plate, an instruction sheet and a ball. The field is the regulation 90 foot square, with home plate, first, second and third base occupying the corners of the squares. Second base is 127 feet 33/8' from home plate, and the pitcher's plate 60 feet 6' from home plate along the same line of measurement. Each of the bases and plates has fixedly attached to the back surface thereof a Velcro patch with the fastening means facing out. In erecting the field, one of the 5 loose patches is placed on the ground at what will be the four corners of the square and the pitcher's plate on the pitcher's mound, each site of placement having been predetermined by measurements made using the measurement tape. The Velcro patches have their fastening surface facing up and are secured in place by means of one of the stakes. The plate or base is then attached to the Velcro patch by placing it over the Velcro patch which has been secured to the ground so that its Velcro patch mates with the secured patch and pressing.
