A Blowing Brickfielder

Grant, do you know what a brick fielder is?

A center fielder who doesn’t have to move when a pot fly comes their way.

That is exactly what I thought, actually, when I first came across this word. I just happened to see it online.

But a brick fielder is a hot, dry wind in southern Australia that develops in the deserts during late spring and summer. And it comes from the name of Brickfield Hill, which is a site of former brickworks in Sydney.

Lovely.
