Title: Former MLB All-Star J.J. Hardy Faces Backlash Over Backyard Baseball Field Construction
An Arizona woman, Pam Lang, is speaking out against her neighbor, former MLB All-Star J.J. Hardy, for starting construction on a baseball field in his backyard in Chandler, Arizona. Lang expressed her frustration, stating that living next to a baseball field was beyond what she expected her neighbors to tolerate, comparing it to living next to a commercial establishment like Top Golf.
Lang only became aware of the construction when she saw 20-foot poles being erected in her backyard. She has since filed a complaint with Maricopa County, hoping for a resolution to the situation. Hardy, who has not obtained the necessary permits for the construction, has until April 22 to do so.
Hardy, a Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame player, spent over a decade in the MLB with the Milwaukee Brewers and the Baltimore Orioles. A three-time Gold Glove recipient and two-time All-Star, Hardy retired in 2017 with impressive career statistics. Despite his baseball accolades, his current construction project has sparked controversy in his neighborhood.
The dispute between Lang and Hardy highlights the challenges of balancing personal interests with the impact on neighbors. As the situation unfolds, residents in the area are closely watching to see how it will be resolved.
