Goss Stadium was dedicated on April 17, 1999. "In 1998, John Goss and his wife, Eline, made the major gift to a fund-raising effort that led to the construction of Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. The Gosses also made contributions leading to endowed scholarships for student/athletes and other top academic students, including graduates of Portland's Grant High School and members of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Goss was an Oregon State track and field letterman in the 1930s; the naming of the baseball stadium is also a memorial to his older brother, James Goss."-- Oregon Stater

Home Game, Ralph O. Coleman served the longest tenure of any coach in Beaver baseball history--35 seasons from 1923-1966. His teams were 561-315 with 10 Northern Division titles and a berth in the 1952 College World Series. Coming to Oregon Agricultural College as a student from Canby High, Coleman pitched for OAC in 1918. His main interest was track and field, though, and Coleman lettered three years as a standout trackman for the Beavers before trying baseball his senior year.
