Before Game 7 of the 1925 World Series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Washington Senators the infield was unplayable due to rain. officials took the drastic measure of dousing the infield with gasoline and setting it on fire to dry the field.

Back on my day when things didn’t do what we wanted them to do we just covered them in gasoline and set them on fire.
It actually improved the air quality conditions for that day.
Ancient times call for ancient measures
I hope it went better than Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park
