Forbes Field was the nation’s first all-steel and concrete ballpark and served as home to the Pirates. It was the site of four World Series in 1909, 1925, 1927, and 1960 and two All-Star games. It also hosted the Homestead Grays, Steelers, and Pitt Panthers, as well as political rallies and boxing matches. It was the site of Bill Mazeroski’s game seven, ninth-inning, World Series-winning home run on October 13, 1960, and Babe Ruth’s last three home runs. After being damaged by fire, it was razed in 1972.
