If there's grass on the field play ball - what does it mean?

A term basically saying that it's alright to at least be attracted to a person as long as they've gone past puberty. Obviously "grass" refers to their "bush" or pubic hair. Would typically be applied to, for instance, a girl maybe 13 years old and up. Can often be used in reference to actual sex (intercourse) but not necessarily.

Man#1: What's the youngest chick you would ever be into at your age? I mean what do you think is "okay" to fantasize about?

Man#2: Hey man. Like my coach always said: if there's grass on the field, it's time to play ball.
