It was once Multnomah Stadium, then Civic Stadium, PGE Park and now is Jeld-Wen Field. At the time this photo was taken it was Civic Stadium and home of the Triple-A Portland Beavers. On this particular day I was pitching against Portland State. I always loved pitching in this stadium because it was BIG and I got a lot of fly ball outs if I was missing my spots. The field was incredibly fast combining the turf and aluminum bats. No one wanted a "come backer"

The field has changed a lot and is now home to the Portland Timbers the MLS Soccer team. It looks very different today.
