I'm gonna go with Cavaliers field, it was so bad my senior year we didn't play a single home game there because the infield couldn't handle water and it took forever too dry.

The worst field I ever played on was in Montpelier. The fence is made out of that orange stuff they use to block snow drifts. The fence is no longer then 280. The infield is like gravel. There are huge rocks in it. When we played there, there was a gopher running around in the infield and then it went down its hole which was by the pitchers mound haha. There were holes all over the outfield. Just a terrible field all around. Luckily they don't have a team there any more haha.

kensal's field is terrible... the outfield is sloped with little hills and alot of pot holes, and the infield is gravel, which isnt too fun to slide on...

I hate playing at Hefer stadium in Red Willow. It is always so hot there and there is no shade at all on the  hill.

Hey, our field, Kensal's, is probably the worst. We don't have an opponent team bench that even really works, nor do we have a great infield. The players are the ones who get the field up to shape in the spring. We'd have a better field if the money was there, but it just isn't. It's hard enough having the smallest high school in the state.

Thompson. Nothing like having light posts in the middle of the outfield. if the ball hits above the yellow line its a homer, if not, its live. huge joke. Its also like 500 feet to dead center
I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?

thompson isnt that nice. it has a light pole on the field, a crow's nest in right center, a sidewalk on the field in left center, and having the school as left field fence. it kinda not cool for an outfielder when a fly ball bounces back to the infield off the school. i would say hillsboro is the worst field. It is BAD! I think 5 players on our team had sore ankles from running down the first baseline because it is so rough and uneven. The grass infield really isn't that nice of a grass infield. And the lip of the grass of the infield grass to the dirt is very uneven. They should've forgot about the sprinkler system, and made the field itself a little better.

reynolds has a softball diamond with a mound. A poor mound at that. I can't see how anyone would really like playing there accept its easier to hit a homerun there because it is 271 down both lines. I think its pretty sad that you can hit home runs that hit a house across the street behind the outfield fence.

Wyndmere has by far the worst field. Snow fence around the outside comes to 225 down right, 325 in left-center, and 300 down the left field line.  More of a slow pitch soft ball field, plus the mound isnt even stationary, the rubber can be moved whereever the pitcher wants, golf-ball sized rocks in the infield, and the outfield is a joke.

i didnt mind washburns until they dug up the outfield and now theres a big mound from corner to corner.  then again i never played the left side of the field there either to the glare off the cars didnt bother me:D but i know that can be tough for a fielder

I personally hate Lisbon's baseball field. The field itself is nice but the way they have it set up is just terrible. They play there football games on the baseball field and they didn't want to play football on the infield. So they had to have an enormous outfield. There is no home run ball in Lisbon. I think there is a spot in the left center where the fence is 429. I think down the sides its about 330. Dead center is about 400 or something like that. It is a nice field but it totally takes away the homerun.

I couldn't agree with you more on this. They built the field for football not baseball. Their field was in good shape for a couple years but i am already seeing it deteriorate. Their pitcher's mound is already getting pretty bad.

Finally, someone that knows what I'm talking about. I do like the yellow ontop of the fence, it makes it look professional. Plus I like that the pool is right beside it. Notin like playin baseball and staring at lifeguards haha.

The mound that they started with in Lisbon was HUGE. I was there for the State Babe Ruth tourney when they had it about 3 years ago. Pretty good atmosphere there and the concessions weren't bad either.
