One of the first things on the Guardians’ to-do list when their season ends will be to “install a new outfield warning track at Progressive Field,” according to Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland PLAIN DEALER. During a lengthy rain delay Friday, the warning track, “made of crush lava rock, was quickly flooded.” The original rubberized track was replaced in 2002 (Cleveland PLAIN DEALER, 10/17).
