The schools response "its been a problem for years" NFS? Glad you can admit it, now the next step is fixing it, that doesn't include waiting until you have the funding for a new field. Is this what you are teaching the students? Ignore the problems until they go away?
@@Xx-lq9su true. was my thought to. still. schools need students, takes homes etc. all taht said i do feel the developer should of had a hand in helping the school fix it before hand.... i did construction jobs i seen these people build in some bs shitty spots. and get away with it. money buys a lot of people to look the other way.
@@Xx-lq9suexactly - that’s what people seem to be missing here. If you choose to buy a house across the street from a baseball field, don’t act all surprised when baseballs end up coming your way. It seems like maybe one ball a year dents a roof or a car. (The guy’s dented roof is pretty old and has a handful of dents. The lady with all the balls was careful to not say where most were found (I’m guessing they’re mostly in her yard).)
All the school has to do is tip that top netting section 45° towards the field and the problem is solved. Get some 45° elbows from the home store and call it a day. No reason to buy some expensive overhang when you can modify that netting. It was probably intended to overhang but was installed wrong.
$500 claim on a $1000 deductible, would be paying the claim. I'm guessing the numbers are in this ballpark, no pun intended. As another pointed out, it's the increased premium (that won't go down when the field is moved) that worries me.
Principal and/or coach want a new field. That's why they're not fixing it. More complaints means bigger push for new field. We practiced about the same distance from houses when I was in HS and the houses hardly ever got hit. I don't remember running into a neighbors yard once to go get a ball. Our backstop had an angled overhang.
The school paid the deductible? LOL Seriously! Are they gonna pay for the increase in insurance after they file a claim? Now I know... Don't live near a baseball fie-... Oh wait. I already knew that.
The house is in the other side of the street. What, should we not build streets near schools? What if they install adequate safety equipment? Is that really too much to ask?
@@ChrisCox-wv7oo Right. On the other side of the street... From the baseball field. Balls are gonna fly out of there from time to time. If they built "adequate safety equipment" that would help, but I still wouldn't live that close to any school. It's a madhouse in the morning and afternoon.
@@frey8725 I'll say it again. There is a street there where flyballs can land. Should we not build streets near schools? Or should we design and build fields / schools in a way that can be adjacent to streets and homes? Who is really at fault here? It ain't the guy in his house. It ain't the street along the school. It's the baseball field's flawed design, placement, and whoever approved of it.
@@ChrisCox-wv7oo OK. Say it again. Say it a dozen times. I'm not repeating myself just because you either don't understand or are just being willfully ignorant. The guy in the house should know the risks of living across the road from a baseball field. Just like people who live near a golf course. Reread my comment. I agreed with part of what you said. Just not the part where you don't think there is any danger living where balls are flying around.
The thing is some people cant just choose to live wherever they want. Sometimes people dont have a lot of choices. You sound privileged and weathly. Not everyone has it as good as you do @frey8725
So they pay the insurance deductibles for neighbors instead of putting that same money into an improved backstop? I find it hard to believe the economics make sense. We've been damaging property for year is probbaly not the soundbite that they thought it was.
The schools are going to have to do better, a lot better. Those folks shouldn't have to worry about their things being damaged by school activities. There is no reason for it at all, that's a public safety issue. This is some bull.
@@ChangeIsEverywhere If you live near or are parked near a ball field that's within hitting range, then you have an assumption of risk. The school wouldn't be liable from foul balls/home runs damaging vehicles. It's the same for homes that live on a golf course
@@kispie you comment like it’s a couple of instances…two houses had a collection of about 50 or more balls…the over hang they’re asking for on the backstop is not very expensive…it’s a half dozen poles with braces and the same netting the golf shooting ranges use. What’s your insurance deductible on your house? 250 to 1000 if your lucky, and raise your rates for making a claim….hell no I’m suing
@@morenotas oh really…it was a little league park , now high school aged kids play there, little league foul balls are very different than teen age batters and pitchers, the conditions have changed, and a decent city lawyer wouldn’t litigate this and settle…probably with the conditions the backstop be corrected…repair costs and attorney costs… I looked up the park…the subdivision was there before the park. Period. Yes parking your car next to a ballpark vicinity is on you…parking it on your driveway? Nope…litigation because I would win.
A net stretched across the top of the backstop from pole to pole will alleviate a lot of the problem. Probably not 100%, but I would expect 90% or more. And then a ground rule would be used for games re: hitting the overhead netting.
My father used to take me to watch softball games at Jayne Field on Charles St in Detroit and anytime a foul ball hit down either baseline cars used to get hit.
Oh, so should there just be a huge ring of empty space around every school so people can avoid this problem? Or could, idk, maybe schools spend the TINY AMOUNT OF MONEY required to stop it from happening?
Moved in next to a baseball field, guess next move you'll do your due dilligence before buying. Type of whiner that would move next to an airport and demand they stop flying.
You must not be very familiar with motorbikes. That's a Harley Davison Freewheeler, which is Harley's version of a "Can-Am" motor-trike. I've never met a bike rider who did not know all about motor trikes, and usually hates them.

But, you moved next to the existing course which I’m sure was a drawing factor. I mean it isn’t like they are like “the only place I can afford was this”. lol

You live across the street from a baseball field. what did u expect would happen. also, these kids are not slinging crack they are PLAYING. u should be happy to see kids outside and doing something. chill out and park in your garage.
I’d expect the school to take responsibility and move the field, or fiend another solution. I can be happy kids are out playing and still not want my property damaged through no fault of my own. If I started practicing archery in my yard with arrows hitting your property or family members, I bet you’d have a different attitude.
@@rskypuppy2000true. I mean a golf course in VA got shut down after a bunch of snowflake homeowners started complaining about the noise despite the fact that the golf club was there waay before their houses were even built. Also, they inadvertently got the restaurant that was beside it shut down too cause by the golf club being shut down, the restaurant lost revenue. So I wonder if the little snowflakes are happy since they no longer have a restaurant close by and would need to drive a little farther for food cause they couldn't adapt to a temporary inconvenience. Like the course wasn't open all the time and they couldn't put up with a small amount of noise 😂
Well, the backstop exists because the school KNOWS that balls might exit the field. Given balls are exiting the field, they backstop needs to be improved. Also, if you were driving down the street and your car got hit, would you be OK with the school saying that you should not drive down the street?
I thought same thing! I was thinking how the Sandlot guys would have loved getting free baseballs like that. When the home owners showed the collection of baseballs. Now the school is constantly buying baseballs they can't get back from neighbors just like the Sandlot boys.
We have a small but very busy airport in our community. The neighbors wanted the FAA to soundproof their homes. The loudest and most annoying leader got up and gave his schpeel. Our engineer got up and put an aerial photo from 1941 and asked the guy to point at his house. Needless to say, he had no more to offer the conversation.
My initial reaction is to side with whoever was there first. If the ball field was there first, any new homeowner should know the risks and accept them. If the ball field was built later, it's their responsibility to make sure they are good neighbors and do what it takes to prevent these kinds of accidents.
Wherever you studied logic you need a refund. It doesn't matter who was there first. If your actions are causing damage you are responsible. Try that argument in court.
And how exactly would a potential home buyer "know" that risk? I'm sure it's not in the real estate disclosure. If I looked over and saw a backstop that high, I wouldn't consider it a potential problem
It’s a weird situation. It’s the same thing as moving to a neighborhood with golf. Don’t like living on a golf course? Then don’t live there. But it’s a fair position to ask for simple netting, a quick and cheap fix.
That’s not quite an intelligent way to look at the issue. Foul balls happen at every level, regardless of how hard pitchers throw. Foul balls even happen during BP in the MLB. If you watched any baseball, or played baseball you would know that. It’s crazy you would insinuate that the issue might be “crap” batters. I think there are fourteen MLB games tomorrow ( 7-19-24 ) you might want to watch one and see the amount of foul balls for yourself. Or go watch a minor league game, or Little League game, that might be close to wherever it is that you live. What a troll comment you made.
Are these are baseballs that go back directly behind the catcher? & it’s crossing over grass and a full street? That must be a real narrow street. What about the people that live down the first base and third base lines?
I sympathize for these people i used to live in a building across the street from a baseball field they had 2 fields opposite each other so depending on which field you played on you can hit several foul balls or homeruns into the street cars got damaged including my father who had his windshield broken but what worried me the most was cars driving down the street could have possibly been hit by a foul or homerun ball and possibly cause an accident
I do not know the answer to this question but what was there first - the school or the houses. Reminds me of my last job where I managed the lab in a wastewater treatment plant - sewer plant for the technically ignorant. The plant was well run and we did take steps to mitigate odors but they are hard and expensive to completely eliminate them. Developers build homes right up to our fence line. There was a clause in the documents that the new home owners never read that they acknowledged that they were buying next to a sewer plant and that there might be odors. New owners complained to the plant and were told to buzz off. New owners complain to their county commissioners who told us to do what was necessary to eliminate the odors. So the entire county pays because these stupid idiots bought homes next to a sewer plant.
This same idea goes to developments getting built around a race track, and new tenants getting upset of the noise(many tracks have been happening to them, some just shutting down.. from this, )... Like come on now.
So, you choose to buy a house right across the street from a baseball field that’s been there for decades, then choose to park your cars out front - then you wonder why your cars get dinged with baseballs, lol… If they had changed the location of home plate or put in a new backstop that caused the issue, I’d see the homeowners’ gripe - but when the field existed there probably before your house was built (and definitely before you bought it), that’s on you.
The field in town here has the same problem, despite having a bigger fence/overhang to get a little more protection. Balls constantly thump the roofs of the neighbors. Not sure how they can stand it, though I suppose they didn’t have to move there either.
Cover the cost of damage by paying the deductable? you know once you make a claim insurace goes up dramatically right? Are they paying for their increase in insurance as well?
I’m sure the field was there before the houses. They knew the consequences of living so close to the ball field. Just like when people move near a race track then complain that they’re too loud and the traffic
Sooo, the field was there when they bought the houses. Hmmm, maybe one should have thought about that before purchasing. That’s like moving next to a railroad crossing, race track, etc and bitching about it. 🤦♂️
move next to ball field, complain about foul balls. move next to railroad tracks, complain about trains. Move next to airport, complain about planes. Next thing, move next to farm, complain about cows mooing
You can literally fix it with $100 in fish netting with some lashing to the existing structure. You don't even need any more pvc or structural components.
At my high school our baseball field was located behind peoples houses. So whenever hit a homer in right field or right-center field peoples houses would get hit.
Buy a house across from a garbage dump and complain about the smell. 😂😂😂 hey I have and idea don’t move around a school with a baseball field across the street.
At this point just sue the school for damages, home depreciation, fear of getting hurt, etc. Wouldn’t it cost less for them to just add preventative precautions to keep the baseballs from leaving the field?!?🤦🏻♀️ Time to get a congressman involved!
Kids are out here playing sports they're not doing anything wrong or not causing any disturbances I understand it's frustrating but they covered your costs? Find something else to complain about
Its just like race tracks hey lets move next to them ohh they're loud shut it down so why tf do u build next to a baseball diamond our town wont let u build that close cause they're not stupid

Cover the cost of damage by paying the deductable? you know once you make a claim insurace goes up dramatically right? Are they paying for their increase in insurance as well?
I’m sure the field was there before the houses. They knew the consequences of living so close to the ball field. Just like when people move near a race track then complain that they’re too loud and the traffic
But you don't know that really
@@colereviewsyt no, I don’t. But it’s a possibility
@@rwk673 I agree 50/50. I've seen a few people say in comments the houses were there first but of course we don't know if they really know either.
@@colereviewsyt but, did these owners move in after the field was there. Good chance these aren’t the original owners of the houses
Sooo, the field was there when they bought the houses. Hmmm, maybe one should have thought about that before purchasing. That’s like moving next to a railroad crossing, race track, etc and bitching about it. 🤦♂️
Sweet, so I can take batting practice aimed at my neighbors house cause I was here first? 🙄
Screw that guy
You knew the field was there when you bought the house. You lose!
i dont know about ball parks in the us but all ball parks here have a sloped backstop
move next to ball field, complain about foul balls. move next to railroad tracks, complain about trains. Move next to airport, complain about planes. Next thing, move next to farm, complain about cows mooing
You can literally fix it with $100 in fish netting with some lashing to the existing structure. You don't even need any more pvc or structural components.
At my high school our baseball field was located behind peoples houses. So whenever hit a homer in right field or right-center field peoples houses would get hit.
Well my friend’s dad once bought a house next to a golf course. That was also no a good move.
1. Get 2. A 3. Lawyer
It's just not that big of a deal to put up more netting.
Buy a house across from a garbage dump and complain about the smell. 😂😂😂 hey I have and idea don’t move around a school with a baseball field across the street.
damn, thats kinda impressive
Overhang? BACKSTOP?
At least if you play baseball you have free balls?
Wonder way the rent was cheaper
At this point just sue the school for damages, home depreciation, fear of getting hurt, etc.
Wouldn’t it cost less for them to just add preventative precautions to keep the baseballs from leaving the field?!?🤦🏻♀️
Time to get a congressman involved!
Get over yourself Nate this happens suck it up
Kids are out here playing sports they're not doing anything wrong or not causing any disturbances I understand it's frustrating but they covered your costs? Find something else to complain about
Or, you can just pack up all your stuff and move.
Raycist
Victim blamer
Lol u watch meidas touch. Says enough
@@Riza20462 It’s r-a-c-i-s-t. Racist. You were close. Please work on your spelling. Thank you
@@Robsay01 dont tell a bIk man what to do ever
Maybe don't live near the baseball field?
That must be annoying. However, you moved near a school and you saw the field before you purchased the house!
Yeah like those Karens who moved near the sriracha factory and then complained of the smell.
Nah, they absolutely should have an overhang. There’s no excuse for balls to constantly hit houses well out of range of the field.
@@NemeanLion-exacly
If you were driving down the street and your car got hit, would you be OK with the school saying that you should not drive down the street?
@@bobroberts2371 yes I should have taken a different road! People neglect responsibility
So they have a really good baseball team thats a problem?
Crying about foul balls..
That's just foul
That lady has 392 Durango wonder what's her highest speed is
I havent had car insurance in years but last i knew if you werent at fault for the damages your insurance shouldnt go up at all.
Turnout you live by a river. Your going to get wet
Its just like race tracks hey lets move next to them ohh they're loud shut it down so why tf do u build next to a baseball diamond our town wont let u build that close cause they're not stupid
1K to 2K for a net and installation... Maybe 3K. It's not tough
I guess it's true... These people complain about everything!!!
The biggest problem in Detroit
Then he goes get a dog names him hercules and puts up a fence......we know the rest!
I'd have just built a cheap netting system and not cried to the news but that's just me.
He don't pay taxes. .
Why do they not like dingers
MHSAA needs to step IN!
why did you move next to a baseball field?
