W
hen it comes to the lips, or transition zones
between turf and dirt on baseball or soft-
ball fields, a little effort each day can save a
lot of time and money down the road. But
even beyond the labor or dollars, player
safety should always be a top concern whether you are
maintaining a professional, collegiate, high school, or
Little League playing surface. If a dramatic lip exists,
sooner or later someone is going to have a bloody lip or
nose, a black eye, or tender groin area from the ball hit-
ting that lip and jumping up to "bite you."
