Finally, if you can afford $30 or so, I'd recommend renting a "builders level", with tripod. Builders levels will allow you to measure 90(or any other) degree angles very accurately--much more so than string, especially if the wind is blowing. You'll also be able to sight the line through the middle of the rubber and second base. The details of where the bases go, as mentioned by MidloDad, are illustrated in MLB rules.

Virtually every baseball program in our area has a general contractor associated with it - either because he sponsors a sign on the outfield wall or because he has or had a kid in the program. They all have this equipment as a part of their business. I've never had a problem getting one of them to come "shoot" the field.
