Built Not Born Athletics is observing ongoing challenges in the local youth baseball community as Yonkers coaches report continuing poor field conditions. Opening-day play at Cook Field faced disruptions due to drainage problems and unresolved maintenance issues, a situation criticized by youth program leaders. City officials cited recent rainfall as the cause, while repair estimates approach $10 million. The condition of Cook Field may impact all local clubs, including Built Not Born Athletics, which relies on suitable venues for training and competition.
