History

Xavier began playing at the location in the 1920s. In 1935, the field's dimensions were adjusted with the construction of the O'Connor Sports Center beyond the right center field fence. The field was renovated again in 1982 because of a donation made under the name of J. Page Hayden (1898–1979), the field's namesake. Following the 2010 season, a new playing surface, brick backstop, and dugouts were added.[1]

From 1980–2013, Xavier baseball has a 450-307-3 overall record at the field.[1]
