Answer 4

Forbes Field was a Major League Baseball park in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It served as the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League from mid-1909 to mid-1970. It was also the home field of the Homestead Grays of the ***** Leagues from 1939 to 1948. The Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL (who were initially also called the "Pirates") used the stadium from 1933 to 1963 when they moved to nearby Pitt Stadium.

Answer 5

Every National League team in existence between 1909 and 1969 played there. It was the Pittsburgh Pirates home field, though.

Answer 6

Pirates of course. I drive past the old site every day. They still have a section of the center field wall and flag poll (on the playing field side!) still standing. And also a plaque showing where Bill Mazerowski's home run cleared the left field wall to win the 1960 series. And another plaque proclaiming it to be the site where Babe Ruth hit his last three home runs. And inside a University of Pittsburgh building o n that site, they have a clear glass plate in the floor covering Home plate where it was when the ball park was there.

Answer 8

Home of the NL's Pittsburgh Pirates, Forbes Field opened June 30, 1909 and closed June 28, 1970 (demolished one year later). Capacity here peaked at just 35,000 so a new stadium had to be built to accomodate the popular sport. "Two miles east of downtown Pittsburgh and just northwest of Schenley Park in the southern part of the University of Pittsburgh campus. Left field (NE), Schenley Drive (Bigelow Boulevard, Forbes Field Avenue, Pennant Place); third base (NW), Sennott Street (now gone), then Forbes Avenue; first base (SW) Boquet Street; right field (SE), none in the immediate vicinity, but Joncaire Street was the closest street in that direction."

'-The field was named for General John Forbes, a British general in the French and Indian War who captured Fort Duquesne and renamed it Fort Pitt in 1758.'
'-Fans in the upper-left corner of the left-field bleachers could not see the plate because of the third base grandstand, which stood between them and the plate.' -- One of many architechtural issues that led to a new stadium and Forbes' demolishion.
-In the year leading up to its destruction, fires struck twice (1970-1971), damaging the field and sealing its fate as a ballpark to be demolished.
-Forbes Field was the first MLB stadium to use green foam "crash pads" in the outfield.
