Please be attentive to the fact that baseball games in Marshfield are played during the hours when the sun can be most damaging to our players' skin.  MYBL asks that you apply sun protective lotion prior to coming to the field, especially to your daughter or son.  They will be in direct sunlight, unable to shade themselves.  Sun protective lotion is available with the coaches if it has become your oversight.
 

We also ask that you take precautions regarding Eastern Equine Encephalitis and West Nile Virus. The State may spray during the season but please apply insect repellant with DEET for everyones' protection.

The following links will provide additional information regarding protective measures that can be taken for sun and insect exposure.
