State Funds Finally Arriving To Renovate Little League Baseball Field In Garfield Park

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A baseball field in Garfield Park is finally getting the care it needs.

When it rains, the baseball field becomes a muddy swamp – sidelining kids for days.

Garfield Park Little League President Nadine Bass told CBS 2's Jim Williams that 12 years ago, state funds were allocated to renovate the field - perhaps even to install an artificial surface to replace what is a muddy swamp after a downpour.

But that work was never done.

But now, a state senator has finally signed off on a request for a grant, so the money is on its way.
