Post subject: Re: How much is that ballfield costing us?
I'm curious as to what extent the babe ruth field be utilized. Is there an existing babe ruth league whose teams will play their games at the new field? It would be a terrible waste of township dollars should the field remain idle during the Spring/Summer season.
