Forbes Field Outfield Wall

Great for baseball fans who enjoy the games history and lore. Not a lot to see, partial outfield wall, Bill Mazeroski Park. Home plate encased inside Pitt campus building but not open to public to COVID as of 11/2020.

Celebrated one of the greatest moments in baseball history. Had a wonderful time seeing some of my old friends. Couldnt have asked for a better day.

Great photo spot in the city remaining wall of the old Forbes field

Neat to discover this peice of baseball history has survived, despite the stadium being long gone. If youre a baseball fan, its worth the visit.

The ghosts of baseball are real and hiding in plain sight at Pitt.

Its so cool that this still exists.

My son and I visited here, it was AMAZING !!!

If you’re a Pirates fan or just a baseball fan, check this place out. It’s located on the University of Pittsburgh campus. Free to visit. The original home plate is still there but it’s inside one of the campus buildings. If the walls could talk, the stories would be endless!!!

Went for the 59th anniversary of the pirates world series win against the Yankees. Great little place to tribute the old field

So amazing to be able to see this piece of baseball history.

So if thats the Outfield wall I guess home plate was over by the law library

I love this is still here holding on to a bit of the past where the Pirates used to play, the remenants of an iconic field

Great remnant of the longtime Pirates field. A piece of Pirates and Pittsburgh history.

Love that even after Pitt built on campus, the wall remains to remind us that at one time, the Pirates actually mattered!!!

There are very few pieces of old ballparks that are left out in the world. Take time to touch this one and think of all of the immortals that likely did the same.

Its cool. Its a wall

Its a great wall

You can feel the history here. Whenever we get visitors from out of town, we go here.

Went there yesterday for first time, always wanted to but never had time but yesterday I did. If you are a baseball fan you will get it but you literally get chills standing out there in what would have been left center field. You just imagine all of the ballplayers who once were on that ground and you can close your eyes and literally smell the popcorn. It was also sort of sad thinking they tore a place like that down to replace it with a place that had absolutely no business hosting baseball games.I was not even born before the place was torn down but those players are the players I think of when I think of MLB.

A Piece of Pittsburgh Pirates History,A little out of the way, but take be a time out for yourself &go see it!

Where Babe Ruth hit his last 3 home runs in his final season (with the Boston Braves)--on the same day! A must see place. The Babe did not go quietly. He roared at the fading of the light. His last home run was a real tape measure shot--almost 600 feet.

Luke Haruki is an amateur Outfield Wall rater please disregard his opinion on this matter. This wall deserves nothing less than a 5 star. What a great wall.

Its a piece of baseball history. Only a portion of the outfield wall remains, but worth a photo-op for any sports fan. Just across the street (on the sidewalk) is a commemorative plaque, and inside Posvar Hall (the large building across from the outfield wall) is the Home Plate for Forbes Field (go in the main entrance and its about half way down on the left). Metered parking is available along the street. Spent about 30 minutes taking pictures.

Aa a youngster from erie visiting my cousin in Oakland we attended numerous Pirate games at Forbes FIeld. It holds a special place in my heart as memories of my youth and love of baseball. I was sad to see the Pirates move to a newer but not so grand ballpark.

Sweet

Open me another one of those boy and Ill tell you all about the time me and my mam were out at Forbes Field way back I was your age maybe taller but back then I could PLAY, son, I was the best shortstop in the county believe you me and I was watching my Idol Mr. Roberto Clemente out there and me myself Id brought my lucky slugger along my lucky louisville slugger and so I was out in the stands wishing with all my might I could be as good a baseball player as Clemente. Every time he swung I would like tense up with anticipation and watch and try to learn to be great. And it was the eighth, son, a tight eighth, the Phillies had got five up on us by the third but then Dock hit the mound and a collective sigh of disappointment went out over Philly, believe you me, they knew what was coming. A six-round no-hitter, that day, at Forbes Field, I recall. The kind of streak you dont even talk about in the stands while its happening. Except the Phillies werent going down without a fight, we were still down by one by the eighth, and then Clemente steps up to the plate and I know, I just know, this is it. He gives the pitcher, I think it was Woodie Fryman, he looks Woodie in the face and gives this look I could see it this look of like this is it. And the excitement I have to admit it sort of got to me and I grabbed the little bat Id brought, this cork-centered kids thing and I started wailing on people around me I swear to god I must have hit fifty or sixty people with the bat. Knocked a dudes tooth into his beer, I remember. They paused the game for all the commotion and by the time it was back on theyd dragged me out and I didnt see the rest. I think Philadelphia won.
