J.J. Hardy's Backyard Baseball Field Project Sparks Neighborhood Outrage

Construction of a mini-baseball field by former MLB star J.J. Hardy in his Arizona home has led to public complaints and permit issues.

Former MLB star J.J. Hardy is constructing a mini-baseball field in his backyard in Chandler, Arizona, sparking outrage among neighbors.
One neighbor, Pam Lang, has gone public with complaints about noise and the eyesore caused by the construction.
Hardy must secure necessary permits by April 22 to complete the project, but he is proceeding without commenting on the controversy.
Lang has filed a formal complaint with Maricopa County due to Hardy not having the proper permits and her inability to contest the construction due to HOA rules.
Hardy's property, not bound by HOA restrictions, also features a putting green and tennis court.
