Middle Tennessee Flood | Day 29 | Jess Neely Baseball Field Clean Up

One of the many areas in Nashville impacted by the flood was the Jess Neely Baseball Field which was flooded entirely.  The pictures below are of the clean up that took place on Day 29.  Jess Neely is comprised of three baseball fields which will entertain around 200 kids who signed up to play baseball this year.  Games are held Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday.  Last year there were 250-275 kids that came out to play baseball, so the numbers are down a little.  Since the flood Coach and Baseball Director Jay Hartley has had to reschedule games at different parks until the facilities at Jess Neely are ready to once again host baseball games.  Many of the families whose children play baseball at Jess Neely have modest means, so trying to figure out how to come up with the money to restore the facilities to what they once where can seem like a hardship to many.  While I was documenting the clean up Home Extreme Makeover stopped by to check out the situation.  They would like to help with the restoration of Jess Neely but couldn’t make any promises at this point.  I am hopeful that they will pull through with everything.  I guess it’s a matter of wait and see…just like so many things in life!
