cprcssion was caused by a fallen cementlI!i!!s.,eIll,e as a result of Hurricane Wilma. Whenthe hurricane hit South Florida, the BoyntonBeach Ltule League Park was one 01 the mall}'
fields that fell victim to the storm. This 24-inchdiameter cement light pole was not pulled fromthe ground but actually broken at the base, andsubsequently fell on the field, crushing fencing net-ting and bleachers not to mention turf The poleremained on the turf for more than 2 months untilthe cily could find a crane company that was avail-able: to lift the poles off the field. Shortly after thisphoto was taken the field was rebuilt entirely withvolunteer labor and funds and featured on ABC's"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" reality showthat aired last March 30 as a rebuilding eilort afterthe Hurricane season of 2005.
