EP Minerals Play Ball! turns John C Birdlebough High School baseball infield from mud and puddles to dry and playable

Picture this. It’s 8:30 in the morning yesterday in Phoenix, New York. 28 degrees. And our sales representative David Rooker is standing on the edge of the John C Birdlebough High School baseball field with the groundskeeper for the Phoenix NY Central School District. What they saw - a baseball field partially covered with ice, soaking wet and muddy with big puddles of water.

Oh, and there was a game scheduled yesterday at 3pm.  

What to do?

We’ve got a fan! The Reno Aces, our local AAA affiliate for the Arizona Diamondbacks, is a big fan of EP Minerals’ BallGame Changer premium infield conditioner. According to Head Groundskeeper Eric Blanton, the product is reducing the team’s infield and warning track water usage by 50% and saving them a lot of work.

Craft beer is going to have a Super Bowl commercial, and the folks behind Budweiser are going to make it happen.

 Microscopic view of a single diatom,diatomaceous earth (DE)

Millions of years ago, Nevada was covered by water. In those lakes, microscopic single-celled plants called diatoms, thrived. When they died, they left behind huge deposits of the fresh-water diatomaceous earth (DE). EP Minerals has mined this high-quality DE in Nevada for over 70 years, used around the world in hundreds of products and applications.

There’s been snow on the ground at my house for over a month now. The holidays are over. The skies are grey. The good news? Spring training starts March 1! Go Cactus League. Are you ready?

Happy New Year! And happy new “incredible” EP Minerals website.

They make your Coors beer sparkling. They act as an absorption agent, quickly and safely soaking up oil or grease spills on streets or land after accidents. They improve filter efficiency and keep your swimming pool or spa looking pristine. They might even make your aspiring baseball-playing kids faster and the game action more exciting by ridding those fields of excess moisture.
