Base with rigid corner section

A baseball base comprising, in combination:

• a base having a square top face, a square bottom face, and four thin, equally sized rectangular side faces formed between the top face and the bottom face in perpendicular relationship therewith;
• said base having a corner section defined by an equal length of both a first side face and a second side face adjacent to the first side face, the corner section further defined by vertical planes extending in perpendicular relationship with the first and second side faces such that the corner section has a square top and bottom face, the corner section square top and square bottom face each having an area less than that of the square top and the square bottom face of the base respectively;
• said corner section of the base being constructed from a material of a first degree of rigidity, wherein a remaining section of the base is formed integral with the corner section and is constructed from a material of a second degree of rigidity less than the first degree of rigidity of the material of the corner section for providing the corner section with greater firmness relative to the remaining section to provide a lead off corner location on the base for resting a foot against by an advancing base runner;
• said corner section of the base being colored a first color and the remaining section of the base being colored a second color for permitting visual differentiation between the corner section and the remaining section when the runner is approaching the base;
• and
• a rigid post having a rectangular configuration coupled to a central extent of the bottom face of the base and depending vertically therefrom for being mounting within earth.
