Interesting....

You're going to throw stones on those SAAA plywood platforms with artificial green lawn carpet, huh? Think about a pair of the VS Athletics throwing shoes. They might not cut it on real grass, but I bet they'll work out on the plywood.
Yes, those would absolutely work. They used those turf platforms in Ventura, which was my 1st games. Is that common? Any idea what kind of surface they use at Long Beach or Costa Mesa? Or do I just need to have a bag full of shoes & be prepared for anything?
