Too bad the firefighters of Prince William County don’t have their own calendar also.  I venture to say that PWC has some of the finest looking fire fighters in the State of Virginia, if not the entire east coast.  How about it, fire fighters?
If they are shy, perhaps the calendar could just be First Responders of PWC. 

Take me out to the ball game….

The Prince William Park Authority has approved major renovations for the Pfitzner Field to begin after the Nationals’ season ends on September 6.  Renovations will include the installation  new grass, a new irrigation system, new sod and soil.  The cost of this project will be about $300,000 and will be shared by Prince William County and the Park Authority.  The Nationals will oversee the progress which is supposed to take 6 to 8 weeks to complete.

The field is 27 years old and was the subject of quite dust-up several weeks ago.  Quoting Potomac owner Art Silber, according to insidenova.com:

“The field is 27 years old and has never been rebuilt. With the amount of clay underneath it and the natural subsoil in the area, it’s difficult to develop a proper drainage system and develop some low spots in the outfield. It’s also impossible to get the water to not accumulate. That has created some situations that are less than ideal.”

Park Authority executive director Jay Ellington said that one of the project’s main purposes is to raise the elevation of the outfield and that the Nationals are working on obtaining a waiver from the office of minor league baseball that allows the field to be under the regular field standard.

This project will be the latest in an attempt to get Pfitzner Stadium’s field in proper playing shape to avoid the difficult predicaments Potomac has experienced this year.
