A Texas Rangers Ballpark sinkhole opened up before the Texas Rangers vs. Cleveland Indians game Tuesday. In the middle of the ballpark, the sinkhole opened right behind the pitcher's mound in the middle of the Texas Rangers' final practice before the game.
A pipe busted under the infield and created the sinkhole at the Ballpark. The batting practice that was ongoing at the time was cancelled so that the crew can fill the sinkhole back up.
Workers dug 3 feet more into the ground to try to find the bursted pipe that caused the sinkhole. These pipes are used in the Ballpark to irrigate the grass, but it had bursted and washed away part of the dirt, creating a sinkhole.
While the sinkhole was being repaired, the Texas Rangers took the batting practice to the indoor cage after they stretched.
After the sinkhole was fixed, the Ballpark management even used a hose hooked up to the repaired pipe to water the infield grass and dirt.
Two weeks ago, a game between Arizona and Texas at Rangers Ballpark was also postponed. Though it might not have been a sinkhole, the unplayable field conditions were also affecting the game's procession.
Hope the Texas Rangers can finally play without unfavorable conditions at the ballpark.
