Roberto Hernandez Field

USC Aiken Baseball opened a new chapter in its storied history on September 18, 2003 when it opened the new stadium completed with the help of generous donations by former USC Aiken baseball player and current Major Leaguer Roberto Hernandez.

The 1,000-seat, state-of-the-art stadium features a beautiful grass surface with all the amenities of a top-notch Division I ballpark.

A clubhouse, players’ lounge, coaches offices, modern press box with separate radio broadcast booth, training facilities, top-of-the-line scoreboard with message center, and 850 covered seats are among the highlights.

The crown jewel of the facility is the Roberto Hernandez Hall of Fame Room. Designed to display the program’s rich heritage, generous donations by Hernandez himself, including uniforms from his teams in the Major Leagues, got the Hall of Fame off to a roaring start.

“It means a lot to me to give to USC Aiken,” said Hernandez, a two-time Major League All-Star, on the day of the stadium dedication. “Maybe there will be another Roberto Hernandez to play at USC Aiken. If it wasn’t for this school, I would not be where I am today.”
