Millions of taxpayer dollars were spent to build beautiful turf baseball fields in Queens, but because the city didn't order the right pitching mounds, no high school games have been allowed for years.

Consumer prices are up nearly 8% year to year, costing average families hundreds. But how can you put all that lost green back in your pocket?

Both have the same problem: Their portable pitching mounds are too small, just 10 feet wide when safety regulations require 18-foot mounds for high schoolers. Both coaches say the same thing, that they cried foul to the city parks department during the shortened COVID season back in 2020.Now, a total of five high school teams are on a perpetual road trip, banned from playing any games on two state of the art AstroTurf diamonds.
