Place four graham crackers in a plastic bag. Crush with a rolling pin until the crumbs are evenly fine. Pour crumbs in the center of the square to create the pitcher's mound and then make a line around the edge of the cake, approximately one inch from the sides. This will be the dirt line for the basepaths.
