Use about an ounce of Spirits in a gallon or so of water and ice. Soak and use washcloths on faces, arms and / or lay cloths over a player's head. It will cool them and make the heat more bearable.
CAUTION: NOT FOR DRINKING! EXTERNAL USE ONLY! Coaches / Parents should help younger players use properly.
Spirits of Ammonia, also known as Aromatic Ammonia Spirit USP, is difficult to find. Does anyone know where this can be found and purchased?

On the Pirates' broadcast a week or two ago, Steve Blass was talking about how they'd use an ammonia mix to cool off during his playing days (1960s to mid-1970s), but that they don't do it much anymore.

Nothing beats water and good nutrition in my opinion. If a player has water and some fruit they will not dehydrate.
