Animations and Simulations for Teaching and Learning Molecular Chemistry

This invention relates to an improved compartmentalized carrier and storage device for baseball and softball team equipment for its easy transport and use. The carrier is comprised of two separate enclosures which are detachably combined, the first for storage of the team equipment and the second for lining the base lines and distances of the bases for standardized field playing conditions. The carrier is wheeled for easy transport and for forming the straight base lines of the playing field.
