Another sizable crowd for yesterday's SABR Forbes Field Chapter meeting. We'll be right back it again for SABR Day on January 31, 2026 at PNC Park.

Couple of months is the big SABR Day one, usually at PNC Park, so it'll be here before you know it.

One week out. Agenda has been released. See yinz there

New #BioProject entry this week on an early 20th century brief Bucco. Not saying his nickname, even though that's mainly how I know of him. sabr.org/bioproj/pers...

New #GamesProject drop a couple of days after the centennial....@johnfredland.bsky.social covers Game 2 of the 1925 World Series. Appreciation to John for getting this finished...we're really trying to make headway in knocking out the local clubs' postseason appearances.

FORBES FIELD Monday, October 13, 2025 at 12 PM '60 World SerieGame 7 Radio Broadcast - 65th Anniversary

Less than a month away. If you're have off and you're local, come and join the crowd.

A beautiful piece of artwork located in the PBC Club at PNC Park. May the @pirates.com have the good sense to remove the ketchup and mustard dispensers nearby that practically infring on the bottom of it.

Id propose the '64 Topps WS as a good choice. And '66 Topps is pretty iconic in its simplicity.

Dave Cash was between Oliver and Clemente, Jr.

Not as long now. Will post the presentations list as soon as the chapter president gets it to us.

This week in #GamesProject releases, @johnfredland.bsky.social takes us through a Sabbathia gem, coming at the expense of the Bucs.

Bring in Yellowhorse! This week's #BioProject entry covers the story of the man those local fans were calling for over a century ago. sabr.org/bioproj/pers...

Artifacts, artifacts, artifacts!

Of course, I didn't get close enough to capture the words.

If you find your way to the Heinz History Center over the next few months, there's a nice little display honoring the 1925 World Series, including pictures, tickets, and a foul ball.

Pics from the regame ceremony celebrating the 1925 World Champion @pirates.com, featuring a group of descendents of some of the players.

That's a @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social entry if I ever saw one.

Pittsburgh Roots: Dick Allen, Like Dave Parker, Misses Moment in the Sun When Dave Parker died last month, I wrote about how bittersweet it would be for the former Pittsburgh Pirates right fielder’s induction into the Hall of Fame. Induction day arrived on Sunday, and Park...

Dave Parker wasn’t the only person posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday. So was Dick Allen, and that also breaks my heart as I write in this column for Pittsburgh Baseball Now.
