Tree planted in front of pitcher's mound of Md. high school baseball field

CENTREVILLE, Md. - Authorities in Queen Anne’s County said a tree was planted on a high school baseball field in what may be an apparent senior prank.

The Queen Anne’s County Sheriff's Office said the tree was planted in front of the pitcher’s mound at Queen Anne’s County High School at some time between Friday and Saturday. On the pitcher’s mound, “Earth Day 2017” was written on the dirt.

The price tag of the $140 tree was still attached to the tree when it was found and the sheriff’s office is investigating where the tree was obtained.

What a waste of law enforcement time and public money. Just return the tree to the place from which it was "borrowed" and let it go.

It is a shame that it is not a protected species and can't be removed without a permit.

You are so correct 10:12. The school's have problems worth investigating and won't think of it. Some harmless nonsense like this they spring into action.

Homeland Security should obviously be handling this horrific act of eco terrorism

Earth day is what they teach them.

Just dig up the tree and plant it somewhere else, for goodness sakes!

see it's either go out and fight real crime or sit back and fill out the paperwork and run all those thousands of leads to ground, i.e. the camera feed from where it was bought. make a federal case out of it and then prosecute the prankster to the full extent of the law since he needlessly wasted government resources that could've been better spent fighting real crime which we don't really want to do anyway! Might get hurt doing that job! but still we now have cover for a few more days!
Thanks Seniors!

trees on most Wicomico county softball fields would make a huge improvement

The outfields at the Naylor Mill Sports Complex make the outfields in that picture look terrible.

One thing is for sure. That Billy Martin guy sure does one heck of a outstanding job.

I wonder how long it will take them to "investigate" the price tag? There aren't too many tree sources up there.
