LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL -- SAN JOSE

LOCATED: Near intersection of Naglee/Dana in San Jose

DIMENSIONS: n/a; BAB portable fence used.

DANGER FACTOR: 1½/5. Only outfielders at adjacent diamond are at risk by a lefty homer.

BOOT FACTOR: 2/5. League has never gotten true boot, but it is in use sometimes.

LAST USED: May 7, 2006

 

The perfect 25% field--great overall location and generally safe from houses, but poor grass, poor dirt, way-too-close backstop, cramped dugouts and soccer population (two large goalposts are halfway up the LF foul line) make this field nothing more than a 2nd or 3rd choice. The league has not gotten the boot from this yard despite ongoing baseball games next door (hitters have even dropped balls on their LF during games!). If there was some way to take the excess grass from Goodson and plant it here, and scare off the soccer players this field would rank higher on BAB's option list, but as it stands now there's no way it will be a first choice.

 

IT HAPPENED HERE:
  • Big Bats/Dexterity series begins with Brandon H. and Skillz as left fielders (2006)
