Louis Guisto Field is a baseball venue in Moraga, California, USA. It is home to the Saint Mary's Gaels college baseball team of the NCAA Division I's West Coast Conference. Named for former Gaels baseball player and coach Louis Guisto,[1] the field has a capacity of 1,000 spectators.[2] Before being named for Guisto, the field was known as Brother Agon Field.[1]

The field will be replaced in 2012 by a new facility.[3]

History

Saint Mary's has played at Guisto Field since 1928.[3] In 2009, the field was given a new infield and other minor improvements.[4]

In the mid 2000's, proposals for a new facility surfaced.[5] In 2011, construction began on a new on-campus Gaels baseball venue. The field's construction is part of the Athletics & Recreation Corridor construction project.[6]
