It’s been 14 years since Ray Secena, Sr. passed away, and his presence can still be felt in the dugouts of Tomahawk Stadium in Oakville. A man that enjoyed fishing from the Bull Hole on the Chehalis River almost as much as the crack of a wood bat, Secena was a modern-day elder on the Chehalis Indian Reservation, despite his death at 57. “He had two real loves: one was baseball, and his other was fishing,” said his son, Ray Secena, Jr. “He helped the ballplayers around here a lot, and they had a lot of respect for him.”
