Team Responsibilities
If you’re at the diamonds tonight, you will notice that we will have one new base on GG5 or GG6. This is because, when we went down to the diamonds on Thursday, the cement box was open and all of our bases had been removed and strewn all over the place. After an exhaustive search, one of our bases was determined to be missing.
This is a reminder to all teams: ENSURE THAT THE HOME TEAM OF THE LATE GAME LOCKS THE BASES AWAY.
GG4 – Orange Box
GG5 – Cement Bunker
GG6 – Cement Bunker
GG7 – in the green box where you turn the lights on/off
We have had to replace one base at a cost of $90 to the league. I have spoken with all of the potential offending teams and they all assure me that they locked the bases away – and I believe them. It may have been that the City crew left it open when they gilled the diamonds, but it is not something that we can determine at this time.
Also note – we have purchased new base plugs for all of the diamonds.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU REPLACE THE BASES WITH THE PLUGS.
This helps the next teams coming in to:
a) find the base hole locations, and
b) not have to spend so much time digging out the base holes once they are located.
There are more then enough base plugs at the diamonds. If you cannot find them, please ask someone. If you notice that they have gone missing, let me know ASAP.
I realize that the 3rd base hole on GG7 is still the old one, and this will be replaced shortly. If anyone wants to volunteer their time to assist the executive with this, please let me know and we can make the appropriate arrangements.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at hebz@rogers.com and we can discuss your concerns.
Thanks,
Jon

Editor’s note: the Magnetic Release Bases at the Guelph Lake diamonds are a joint project of GTCSPL and RCMSPL. As such, they are the responsibility of the leagues – NOT the City.
It’s up to US to take care of and maintain these bases, and we ALL have to work together to make them work for us!
