Forbes Field Opens...107 years ago today (June 30th)
On June 30, 1909, the Pittsburgh Pirates hosted the Chicago Cubs for the Inaugural game of Forbes Field, drawing in 30,338 spectators, but the Pirates lost by the score of 3-2. Here's an image of a ticket from that Inaugural game, and feel free to share other items you may have from this historic game

Re: Forbes Field
My brothers just recently visited PNC park and caught a ballgame.
They sent me this photo taken during the 1909 World Series. I was told this photo is proudly displayed in one of the suites at PNC. ErikV |

Anybody have an example of the stick pin they gave away that day? I missed out on an example that was still on its original paper backing a few years ago and haven't seen one since (with the paper anyway). Would love to even see if anyone has just the pin itself.
