You know why this story blows the “Squirrel Waterskiing” YouTube video “out of the water?” Because not only is using a helicopter to dry off a baseball field an amazing sight to behold, it’s also ridiculously resourceful.

Now I know a lot of fuel was probably used, but I’m not going to “Al Gore” you with this one. The parents of the Pinecrest Academy baseball players were in a bind and had to think fast, and according to Michael Foster of the Forsyth County News, they weren’t as mentally agile as a parent from the visiting team.

According to Foster: Pregame deliberating had come to a standstill when the coaches opened ears to a parent of a King’s Ridge player, who eventually called in a helicopter to hover over and dry off the playing surface.

Now I want a helicopter available at every MLB game for just this purpose. But with one additional request: Bartolo Colon has to man the first chopper.
