Burning Baseball Fields

Although the practice is not advised, apparently it's fairly common for people to try to quickly dry out wet baseball fields by dousing them in gasoline and burning them.

One such case was recently in the news: "Baseball field closed due to 'poor decision' to douse it in gas, set it on fire"



But youtube offers up many more examples.

Horrible journalism! Just reporting the sensational flames and not bothering to find out if the field was dry enough to play on afterwards.

Solar power not working for ya? Time to move on to good old fossil fuel.
