What kind of dirt is used in a Major League baseball infield?
The "dirt" we see isn't really what I would call dirt. A baseball infield is made up of a special mixture of sand, silt, and clay. (Silt is a natural material halfway between sand and clay as far as particle size is concerned.) There doesn't seem to be any one central source and depends more of the likings of the local groundskeepers. At Fenway Park, they mix in some ground up kitty-litter type stuff to give the infield "dirt" a redder color. Our local AA minor league park has artificial "dirt" made up of ground up automobile tires. Low maintenance and good drainage were what they were looking for around here!
How far is the infield dirt to the outfield grass in a MLB stadium?
It comes right up to it.
How do you prepare a baseball field?
Mow the grass, rake the dirt, chalk the foul lines and batter's box, and wet down the infield dirt.
Why are baseballs replaced when they hit the ground on the way to the catcher in MLB but not when they hit the infield dirt?
this is a false question...
You have dirt from fenway infield where can you purchase a display case for this dirt?
You can purchase display cases for memorabilia like dirt from Fenway Park infield at sports memorabilia stores, online retailers like Amazon or eBay, or specialty display case companies. Look for shadow boxes or acrylic display cases that can showcase the dirt in a protected and decorative manner.

How far is the edge of grass away from the foul line on a little league field?
The only part of the field that is "regulation" is the actual infield itself. The bases, home plate, batter's boxes, and pitcher's mound are always in the same location and the same dimensions depending on which league the field is made for. Some infields are designed with grass, some are all dirt, and some are all grass with dirt base paths, pitcher's mound (and sometimes pitching path). There is no regulation as to how far away the grass has to be from the foul line.
What kind of dirt do baseball teams use on the infield?
Beam Clay,Diamond Pro,Profile...just to name a few.
What are softball bases made of?
Most softball bases today are made out of rubber. They do have a metal bottom that allows the base to stay where it is supposed to be. There are throw-down bases that are made out of foam and can be thrown down anywhere.
Why does the ball get handed to the umpire when it hits the dirt at homebase and not when the ball gets hit and hits the dirt in the infield?
The ball gets handed to the umpire once it hits the dirt and not in the instance of the baseball hitting the dirt in the field is up to the Home Plate Umpire's discretion however Pitchers have the rights to request a new baseball provided it becomes too dirty to get a grip on. Pitchers will like the dirt on the ball because it will be able to move more however the opposing team and Umpires will find this an unfair advantage which is the reason in which baseballs will usually be tossed out of play to the umpire but it doesn't always happen in the event of a batted ball hitting the infield dirt.
Why do they water down the infield before a baseball game?
Basically it keeps the infield dirt a bit softer and most importantly it eliminates dust clouds when sliding, etc. Think about rec fields, they're not watered before games - or even at all - and they get to be as hard as concrete and quite dusty.
