CONSPORT (Company Number 204) Consport Inc produces
and markets several types of red aggregate for the landscaping and construction
industry. We list below the two sources of material and a number of uses
for each. Consport's Baseball Infield mix is an attractive blend of manufactured
clay products that gives the appearance and performance of a natural clay
infield but with greater durability, better drainage, and far less grounds
keeping effort. The gradation of this infield mix provides a firm and consistent
infield yet resists the size segregation that results in the hard compaction
that is characteristic of other infield mixes and which makes them unsafe
in which to play. Consport's Warning track mix matches the red color of
the infield while its coarser gradation gives the "crunch" that
warns outfielders of approaching fences.
