  • Marco Farfan: a Rising Star from Southeast Portland Emerges for Timbers
    Marco Farfan: A rising star from Southeast Portland emerges for Timbers June 10, 2017 By Jamie Goldberg While some of his Centennial High School classmates earn extra cash by working minimum wage jobs making sandwiches, flipping burgers or frothing up Grande Lattes at Starbucks, Marco Farfan plays soccer for the Portland Timbers. That's right. Marco Farfan - high school student/professional athlete. As the youngest-ever player to sign with the Timbers, Farfan has followed an unusual path. He made the leap this year from the Timbers youth academy team, signing a contract with the professional club worth $53,000 per year. But while his life has changed dramatically over the last eight months, the 18-year-old is quick to downplay his achievement. That might be because he doesn't quite grasp how unusual his experience is. "It took me about a month to get used to it, but now I'm just focused on working hard, so I can get better down the road," Farfan said. "I'm 18 right now, but that's not going to last forever. I have to have the right mindset that I can go out there every day and compete." * * * Farfan grew up in a modest home on the border of Southeast Portland and Gresham dreaming of one day becoming a professional soccer player. But neither he nor his family imagined that he would make it to the pro level before earning his college diploma - let alone before finishing high school. His father, Roberto, who spent his own childhood in Mexico surrounded by an intense soccer- crazed culture, made sure to teach all three of his children about his beloved sport.

Hale, Sr. Current Value ($/Mil): N/A Team Website Stadium: 1st Mariner Arena Date Built: 1962 Facility Cost ($/Mil): N/A Facility Financing: N/A Facility Website UPDATE: The City of Baltimore is still looking to start a private-public partnership for a new 18,500-seat arena to replace the aging 1st Mariner Arena, which will cost around $500 million. Private funding would go towards the new stadium, while public funding would be used to build a convention center. In March 2012, the state legislature declined to give $2,500,000 for design proposals until a more firm commitment to the project from the City of Baltimore is verbalized. As of February 2013, no verbal commitment had been made. Throughout 2013, the arena will be celebrating its 50th year in existence. NAMING RIGHTS: Baltimore Blast owner and 1st Mariner Bank President and CEO Ed Hale acquired the naming rights to the arena through his company, Arena Ventures, LLC, as a result of a national competitive bidding process conducted by the City of Baltimore. Arena Ventures agreed to pay the City $75,000 annually for ten years for the naming rights, which started in 2003. © Copyright 2013, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 Team: Milwaukee Wave Principal Owner: Jim Lindenberg Current Value ($/Mil): N/A Team Website Stadium: U.S. Cellular Arena Date Built: 1950 Facility Cost ($/Mil): 10 Facility Financing: N/A Facility Website Update: In June 2013, the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee announced that it will return to the U.S.

  • Ralph Coleman, Jr. Oral History Interview, “The Early Years of Beaver Baseball”, July 8, 2014 Page 3 of 25
    Ralph Coleman, Jr. Oral History Interview, July 8, 2014 Title “The Early Years of Beaver Baseball” Date July 8, 2014 Location Coleman residence, Portland, Oregon. Summary Much of this interview is devoted to Ralph Coleman, Jr.'s memories of his father, Ralph Coleman. Coleman Jr. recounts his understanding of his father's upbringing in Canby and his attending Oregon Agricultural College, with particular focus paid to his pursuits as an athlete, including his standout performances in track and field. Likewise discussed are Coleman's association with the college's Osolito Club, his friendships with Spec Keene and Douglas McKay, and his acquaintance with Linus Pauling, with whom he lived for a period of time. From there, the session focuses more intently on the early years of Beaver baseball, including Ralph Coleman's development as a coach, the baseball program's material circumstances during its infancy, travel to away games, and the baseball facility. Coleman Jr. also recounts his memories of the 1952 OSC team that appeared in the College World Series and of a handful of notable baseball players that came through the Oregon State program in its first decades. Personalities within the OSC Athletic Department comprise another topic of interest, including Coleman Jr.'s recollections of Slats Gill, Lon Stiner and Paul Valenti. The session's focus on Ralph Coleman concludes with discussion of his affinity for golf, the dedication of Coleman Field in 1981, and Coleman's association with the Portland Mavericks independent professional team. The remainder of the interview is devoted to Ralph Coleman Jr.'s experiences as a native son of Corvallis and an OSC undergraduate.
