FANO A desolate image of the area adjacent to the baseball facility in the Trave sports area. A pressostatic balloon had once been erected there and was then swept away by a storm and to provide evidence of that abortive attempt to equip the site with an additional covered structure, the remaining concrete platform together with the rubber covering, lying sadly on the ground, remains.
Regeneration failed
A couple of equally degraded mobile structures such as the grandstand still remain, while weeds proliferate all around and even inside. The ideas that followed one another in recent years to regenerate that space were short-lived, while the one that Fano Baseball ’94 submitted to the municipal administration seems to enjoy a much more concrete perspective, inducing it to adopt an act of direction so that the association can preserve its the availability also at the end of May of the management transition signed in 2018, when Fano + Sport, which has the “Marconi” circuit with its appurtenances under concession, had willingly agreed to take a step back. «The idea is to create a field for baseball 5» announces the president Antonio Vallieri, who believes that rectangle, due to its proximity to the two diamonds of the Seagulls Stadium, due to the overall dimensions and the measurements of the concrete base, perfectly organic to the plan to equip itself with a space dedicated to miniature baseball “which is a discipline born in South America and preparatory to classic baseball, moreover recognized by the MIUR – adds Vallieri – and therefore accredited in the world of schools”. It would be a unique structure for central Italy «which would allow us to also bring together national teams» highlights the president of Fano Baseball ’94, who leverages the significant Pesaro presence within the national team.
The sport
Baseball 5 reproduces the canonical rules of baseball, but instead of bats, hands are used, the ball is made of rubber and, in addition to the dimensions, the number of players is also reduced (five in fact). The project follows the restyling of the two baseball fields, with the main diamond having been adapted to the holding of matches of any championship, extending its dimensions, while the additional one has been equipped with fences that prevent the ball from interfering with the activities that take place in the circuit.
