Paintsville's baseball field is a good park for playing baseball. It is a lousy venue for fans, but it's a player's park. I actually liked the field better before they put grass and brick in the infield. Coach Adkins and his players worked that dirt infield like sifting flour. I think the man knew each and every grain of dirt personally. You always got a true hop playing that infield. Now the outfield grass looks too long and thatched. Smoked line drives just die when they hit that mess. Some body, either the city or the school board, or a combination of the two really needs to pony up some funds to build a grandstand, re- model the dugouts, and cosmetically improve that old park, and it will make an excellent ball park. The Soccer teams need a proper field as well.

It may have use to be that way, but its not anymore. The only reason it's a players park now is because you can still hit it in the pool, but with the new bat change that's not going to be the case either
