Summary
An infield is the dirt area in a baseball diamond that includes first, second, and third base, home plate, and the pitcher's mound. Infields often, (but not always) have a grass area between home plate, the foul line, and the bases with the pitcher's mound in a dirt area in the middle, as shown in the diagram below.
Reasoning
One who is browsing the map may come across baseball diamonds. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't know about baseball, and seeing the infield may help them identify it as a baseball field and may even incline them to learn about the sport. Unless one knows some about baseball, he may find the shape of the baseball field weird, especially in places were baseball is not generally played. Moreover, seeing infields in Open Street Map will make the map more interesting and colorful, and maybe even more useful!
Additional Tags
Additional tags may be used along with this to make it more useful. Such tags may be:
leisure=pitch One could almost say use of this tag with baseball=infield is required. Use the infield tag without this will make it make no sense at all. sport=baseball
Rendering
Rendering of this would simply be a tan area.
