Forbes Field Celebration


At 3 p.m. tomorrow, Mayor O'Connor and former players from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Homestead Grays and other Negro League teams will help dedicate a state historical marker near what remains of the outfield wall from Forbes Field. A group led by state Sen. Jim Ferlo landed a $25,000 state grant to restore the brick wall and flagpole that were preserved when the rest of the ballpark was razed in 1972.

Future scheduled to meet the past tomorrow on a ballfield in Oakland
