Ohio dad builds $30K backyard baseball field for son

 An Ohio father spent nearly two years and around $30,000 building a baseball field in his backyard after his five-year-old son requested one. Jason Kidd transformed his property into a playing field with professional-grade clay, regulation bases and a raised pitcher’s mound. Despite complaints from neighbours and unfinished additions, Kidd said the project was about spending time with his son and teaching him baseball. An Ohio father spent nearly two years and around $30,000 building a baseball field in his backyard after his five-year-old son requested one.
