Fields
From Jim Passe, our Field Manager
HMBR’S home field is Guilliam we also have access to the freshman field at West Junior High, the field at Eisenhower, and Field 3 at Maetzold. Over the years the board has made several investments into the fields. HMBR is committed to providing the best experience for our players which includes the quality of our baseball fields. We are a volunteer program and rely on our board members, coaches, players and parents to help with the upkeep. We also coordinate with the City of Minnetonka and the school district throughout the year to keep the fields in the best possible condition.
The quality of our fields goes beyond the over all appearance. Safety is the biggest factor. A well groomed infield and outfield are essential to avoiding twisted ankles, broken bones, or a trip to the dentist. From the preseason start up, the upkeep during the season, to the closing of the fields for winter this all takes a great effort from the coaches, players and volunteers. HMBR also has a program where players can signup to be on the prep crew and earn some money. These players are assigned times and fields each week and are responsible for making sure their field is groomed, chalked, and ready to go an hour before game time. We have a procedure for maintaining each field and keep a laminated copy posted at the fields. We also have a meeting every spring and fall with the coaches and the prep crew to go over the equipment and discuss the proper way to take care of the fields.
It is our belief and conviction at HMBR that we take care of our fields and that our players help with maintaining the fields they play on. With everyone’s help we can keep our fields in great condition and avoid costly repairs. This not only helps HMBR keep our fees reasonable for the parents it also helps make each season a great experience for the players and the fans. HMBR would like to thank everyone ahead of time for your support and efforts in keeping our fields looking great.
