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!
