Gene Bearden Stadium

By , December 27, 2019 5:20 pm

Most people don’t know this but Gene (Grandpa) coached baseball for a long long long time in Helena Arkansas where he settled down for the long haul after pro baseball.  This ball field is where it all happened.  I spent many summers on this ball field running around helping and generally really really HOT.  For anybody that’s been in Helena during baseball season (summer) you know what I mean!  It became known as “Gene Bearden Stadium” I believe after he was no longer able to coach the Helena team!  Enjoy!
