Positively Fungo circles. This is where the coach stands when he hits ball to the infield and outfield during the pregame.

That tells the helicopter where to land to take the next batter to the on deck circle.

the circles near home plate in old ball parks represent "on deck batters" aka who is ever up next

The on-deck circle...for the next hitter to warm up in with practice swings.

they used to be on deck circles and are now maintained out of tradition. clubs now use a mat made composite rubber - this way a depression in the ground is not created out of repeated use.

I've heard this one before, I think in the old parks it's where they used to hit fungos from.
