2. Junior Luke Heimlich leads the nation in earned run average with a nice, tidy 0.76. Actually, he should be a sophomore. He graduated from high school a year early and took the fast lane to Corvallis, Oregon
Graduated early and should be a sophomore sounds great, until I read that he's 21 years old. I turned 21 the summer before my fourth year of school.

It appears that Goss Stadium at Coleman Field is tied for the fourth-oldest NCAA baseball stadium in the country. Is that right? The oldest is Harvard's Joseph J. O'Donnell Field, which opened in 1898. Michigan State's John H. Kobs Field opened in 1902. Third is Holy Cross' Fitton Field, which opened in 1905 and made baseball only in 1924. Seton Hall's Owen T. Carroll Field opened in 1907, as well. Fenway opened in 1912. The next-oldest NCAA stadium is Radiology Associates Field at Jackie Robinson Ballpark in Daytona, Florida, home to Bethune-Cookman. Of course, Bethune-Cookman just moved there in 1993. The next-oldest stadiums are Columbia's (1921), Cornell's (1922), Michigan's (1923), and Texas Tech's (1926).

According to this link (www.osubeavers.com/sports/2013/1/15/208342862.aspx): "Goss Stadium at Coleman Field, which has stood on the Oregon State campus since 1907, is now the oldest continuous ballpark in the nation."
By continuous I suppose it means continuously used as a baseball field, which in my mind counts for something. I believe that is at any level as well; pro, amateur, or little league. It's pretty amazing to think home plate has been more or less in the same location for 110 years. It's fun to imagine what that old park has witnessed.

My understanding is that this statement is based on the fact that home plate has never changed position - it is the continuity. The field has changed - saw a picture of the largest crowd ever to see a baseball game at OSU, 5000+ back when we were in the playoffs to go to the World Series, and there were people crowding the lines all the way down the field on both sides, sort of difficult to make a play in foul ground. |
