Louis Guisto Field is a baseball venue in Moraga, California, United States. It was home to the Saint Mary's Gaels college baseball team of the NCAA Division I West Coast Conference from 1928 to 2011. Named for former Gaels baseball player and coach Louis Guisto, [1] the field has a capacity of 1,000 spectators. [2] Before being named for Guisto, the field was known as Brother Agon Field. [1]
