Hicks Field was also the longtime spring training site for a number of Minor League teams during the 1940s, including Binghamton, New York and Reading, Pennsylvania.

After the renovations were complete, Hicks Field had grown in capacity to seat 1,200 people and now gives off a nostalgic feeling that can rival any major league baseball stadium.

Hicks Field continues to host the Steamers, Edenton-Holmes High School baseball, and American Legion Post 40 contests, as well as various tournaments throughout the summer.

The Edenton closer that summer, Ryan Sadowski, would later go on to pitch in the Major Leagues with the San Francisco Giants in 2009 as the second Steamer alumnus to reach The Show.

2003 was a frustrating year for Steamer fans as they produced the worst win–loss record ever in Edenton history at 12-34, placing last in both halves of the season in the North Division.

To cap off the "worst to first" turnaround, the Steamers also won the Petitt Cup Championship for the first time in franchise history, defeating arch-rival Outer Banks 13-2 in the title game.

Edenton's ace pitcher that summer, Evan Scribner, became the fourth alumnus to appear in the big leagues when he debuted for the San Diego Padres on April 26, 2011.

A Steamer hitter took home the league batting crown for the second summer in a row when Brett Nommensen fashioned a then franchise-record .377 figure; he also paced the circuit with a .462 on-base average.

Closer Luke Demko led the CPL in appearances (27) and saves (15, a Steamer record) and was rewarded with the Gieseke Gold Award for that summer.

A surprising number of player casualties to professional baseball, four in the June draft and one more as a free agent at the CPL All-Star game, provided the backdrop for a great effort of over-achievement.

A 32-24 final mark put Edenton in the sixth seed for the postseason and began a seemingly improbable run that ended in Forest City, taking the top-seeded Owls to a decisive game three at their stadium to decide the Petitt Cup champion.

Saranthus led the league, and set or tied Edenton franchise records in the first four categories, in ERA (0.68), WHIP (0.51), batting average against (.107), wins (7), and appearances (30).

It is named in honor of the late Livy Goodman, a leader for many years on the Steamers ownership board who also organized the Clambake events, an annual mid-winter fundraiser for the team.

Brian Blasik scored the most runs in the CPL (39) helped by his then club-record 15 doubles, while Mark Montgomery set the then all-time league best for strikeout ratio by a reliever (1.93 K/IP) when he fanned 54 in 28 innings.

That summer saw the Steamers break 13 franchise records, including setting six different Coastal Plain League marks, send six representatives to the All-Star festivities, clinch both first and second-half North Division titles, earn the top seed in the Petitt Cup Playoffs, and hold the ranking of No.

Piggybacking on the success from the previous summer, Steve "Mo" Moritz, who served as hitting coach in 2011 under Dirk Kinney, was hired on to lead the charge in 2012.

The Steamers set new team standards in home runs with 44, slugging average at .423 and OPS at .791; their 100 doubles tied the franchise mark from 2010 and they increased their CPL-leading streak to nine straight years with a winning record and a playoff appearance.

Madison Beaird became the franchise-record holder for assists by an outfielder, throwing out 11 men on the base paths and was the 2012 recipient of the Goodman Glove Award.

Jordan Egan, a returner from the 2011 squad, tied the single-season team record for saves with 15 and became just the second two-time All-Star in Steamer history when he was selected that season.

Along the way Edenton finished 40-11 overall, clinched both first and second-half East Division titles and entered the Petitt Cup Playoffs as the top overall seed for the third consecutive year.

Third baseman Josh Hampton led the league in RBIs (42), tied for first with four triples, second in home runs (9) and set a new Steamer record with 123 assists at third base.

Jacob Reese excelled defensively for the Teal and Black, tying the franchise mark for fielding average at the position at .995 and earning an All-Star nod.

On an individual level – Josh Roeder, Gunnar Kines, Ryan Raslowsky, Orlando Olivera, Evan Rogers and Jake Placzek all had sustained success for Edenton in 2014.

The junior from the University of Mount Olive was the league leader in ERA at 1.26 and had 56 strikeouts, which was fourth in the circuit, along with only allowing 34 hits and seven earned runs all summer, good for a .192 batting average against.

A junior infielder from California State University-Northridge, Raslowsky finished as the team leader with a .369 batting average in 37 games for the Teal and Black.

Olivera, a junior outfielder and first baseman from Missouri Baptist University, finished second on the Steamers with a .325 batting average and tied for first on the team having played in 45 games.

A sophomore infielder, Rogers etched his name in Edenton's franchise record book by setting the fielding average standard for a shortstop throughout the summer.

A sophomore infielder from the University of Nebraska, Placzek hit .211 in 35 games for the Steamers this summer and set a new franchise record by drawing 47 walks, which also led the league.

Overall, he made 10 appearances, eight starts and paced the staff with 54.0 innings pitched, finishing with a 5-2 ledger, 3.00 ERA, .96 WHIP and .204 opponent batting average with 45 strikeouts to only 12 walks.

Reigning CPL Coach of the Year Bryan Hill navigated the Steamers to a 21-7 first-half record and a seventh straight East Division title.
