Abandoned backstop

Added to the list of peculiar things that have been allowed to go to seed: A ball field. This is sitting around a half-abandoned mental institution (I don't know why there are so many half abandoned asylums, either), with the field itself having long ago grown over with grass. The lawn is apparently mowed regularly, but trimming the plants growing over the backstop is apparently a step too far for the groundskeepers. Why anybody would let a baseball field fade away is a mystery to me, as I would think that both the patients and any neighborhood kids would be able to get some use out of it. After all, if you build it, they will come.
