Show a slight promise of future domination, make a bus load of friends that are all grown up and care about the game of baseball and what do you get? A sweet facility for the spring.
East Wake High School's baseball field is right in the middle of such a transition to aesthetic perfection.
Through boosters and golf tourneys, etc., the Warriors will have one of the nicest facilities in the state come this spring.
The price tag? Well, they could've bought a Corvette. Coach Kerry Kincaid estimated the coast of the improvements at around $50,000-$55,000. Those improvements include new grass and infield, a new outfield fence, a new scoreboard and a new backstop.
With a new three-wheeler for dragging the field, the ticket could run up to near $60,000. Luckily for East Wake, the school system/county met them halfway on some of the funding since aspects of the current facility didn't meet code and was their responsibility.
There will be more on this facelift as it comes. Look for a story and picture in Eastern Wake News in the weeks to come -- I don't think anyone will be taking field pictures as long as it is covered with snow.
