  • Ever since a very young age I've had a fascination with classic ballparks, maybe it goes back to a family trip through Chicago back in 1991 when old Comiskey Park was being torn down, such a maddening site. Later on that same trip we all wen't to the National Baseball Hall of Fame while in NY. In thier stadium exibits the stadium that captured my imagination the most was the long gone Forbes Field in Pittsburgh (demolished in 1970). I read and read and read about this place and it was considered the grandest stadium of it's time. It certainly is the most charming one I've seen, and let me say this is the nicest area I've been to where a classic stadium was located. Try strolling up to North St Louis, North Philadelphia, or the Bronx, ect, ect. It's definetely a hair raising adventure, sorry to say that I've done it. Instead of those spotty, (I hate to say ghetto because they are Historic locations), this place was located in the affluent Oakland district of Pittsburgh which is also where the University of Pittsburgh is located. On what is now part of the college campus is an old ivy covered brick wall that still stands from Forbes Field in it's original location. There is that famous Pirates World Series win against the Yankees that happened from a home run being hit over the wall, which from looking at the field dimensions I'd say was pretty hard to do. Besides that though this is part of Forbes Field and is one of the nicest looking walls I've seen (wish freeway walls looked more like these). This Wall is also adjacent to Schenley Park, a gorgeous space which actually has a baseball diamond in it, and at least when I was there you entered through a replica of the Forbes Field main gate (see photo). In this area is also a large English Garden looking fountain and an incredibly neat old College building with a Villa - like courtyard. That is where thier school of design is located. This is definetely a spot worth making a destination of when in this area.
