Forbes Field
Pittsburgh Pirates
Forbes Field served the Pirates for 61 seasons in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood, steps from the University of Pittsburgh campus. Bill Mazeroski's walk-off home run in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series — still the only walk-off Game 7 homer in World Series history — is its greatest moment.
