Going to the ballpark? Knowing proper heat safety is important
BLUEFIELD, VA (WVNS) – Do you have any plans to visit a ballpark? If so, it may be good to know some proper heat safety tips before heading out.
A typical baseball game can last a few hours, meaning you will be exposed to the sun and heat for a long period of time.
Before going out, it would be best to prepare and know your environment.

He said they try to provide as many shaded areas as possible for any visitors.
He emphasizes drinking as much water as possible and making sure you are getting enough electrolytes. This goes for both any visitor to Bowen field and any player on the team.
We try to keep a good eye on our group. We're really connected with the fire department and local rescue squad. Anything out fans need, we'll make it happen and we just want to make it as comfortable as possible for you.'
