Forbes Field - Definition and Overview

Forbes Field was a Major League Baseball stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It served as the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League from 1909 to 1970. It was also the home of the Homestead Grays of the Negro Leagues from 1939 to 1948. The Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL used the stadium from 1933 to 1963. On May 25 1933, the first home run was hit out of Forbes Field, which, coincidentally, was Babe Ruth's final career home run. However, the most famous homer hit in Forbes Field was undoubtedly Bill Mazeroski's walkoff home run to win the 1960 World Series for the Pirates.

A small portion of the outfield wall—specifically, the portion over which Mazeroski's 1960 blast traveled—still exists on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh.
