Vince Genna Stadium celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2006. In attendance that day was the man who helped the stadium become what it is today, the late great Vince Genna, and the oldest living Hall of Famer, former Red Sox second baseman Bobby Doerr, who is also an Oregon resident.
The stadium was home to various American Legion and High school teams through the 40's-60's. Then the stadium housed pro ball through 1998. Affiliated teams from the San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies, Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Angels have all had minor league teams domiciled here in Bend.
For eight years now it has been home to the Bend Elks baseball club, which has the distinction of being the longest standing organized club to call Vince Genna Stadium its home.
