Cowlitz Black Bears Good I grew up watching game and playing on David Story field in Longview. So I am a little biased. It is a small stadium, used by Lower Columbia Community College which means every seat is only a few feet from the field. The addition of a party deck in left field…
Salem-Keizer Volcanoes Good This is the stadium that I have been to more than any other over the past 5 years and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that for an autographer like me there is no better stadium. Both the visiting team and the home team walk right through the fans…
