Miles Field was a baseball park in Medford, Oregon, It hosted high school, American Legion, and minor league teams from 1948 to 2004.
In 1951, local auto dealer Claude "Shorty" Miles worked behind the scenes to help get a new baseball park built in Medford because of his unbridled passion for the sport.
[8] After 21 seasons at the venue, the Timberjacks left Medford in October 1999 for British Columbia and became the Vancouver Canadians,[9] leaving the city without a pro baseball franchise.
Under an agreement between the venue and the city of Medford, that field was built to accommodate youth, high school, and American Legion baseball, but not a professional team.
[12][13] However, despite the MCRD's best efforts to block construction, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled in favor of Walmart in 2010 on November 18, and the new Supercenter got the go-ahead to be built.
