Life in the earliest civilizations included festivals involving sports contests. Following the death of Alexander the Great, sports became a professional entertainment for Greek spectators who would pay entrance fees to watch the contests.2 Undoubtedly, the spectators who filled the tiered stadia suffered injuries. A runaway chariot or wayward spear thrown in the Roman Coliseum likely impaled an onlooker sitting on the platforms (called spectacula, based on their similarity to the deck of the ship and the basis for the English word "spectator").

    Book Reviews By Dennis DeValeria and Jeanne Burke DeValeria, Honus Wagner: A Biog- raphy. (University of Pittsburgh Press: Pittsburgh, 1998. Pp. 334, Paperback, $16.95.) When Honus Wagner retired from major league baseball after the 1917 season, he departed with a reputation as its finest player. One of the Hall of Fame's five original inductees (along with Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, and Babe Ruth), Wagner left the game holding the major league records for most games played, at-bats, hits, runs, runs batted in, stolen bases, extra base hits, and total bases. For good measure, Wagner was also the Na- tional League's career leader for the most singles, doubles, triples and batting titles (an astounding eight). But Honus Wager did more than personify ath- letic excellence. He embodied professional baseball during its turn-of-the-cen- tury consolidation, a time when the major leagues still were closer to the sand- lots than they were to Madison Avenue. Dennis DeValeria and Jeanne Burke DeValeria's Honus Wagner: A Biogra- phy captures the Pittsburgh Pirate shortstop's distinguished career. The son of German immigrants who came to a small town outside of Pittsburgh in 1868, Johannes Peter (Honus) Wagner was born in 1874. When he was twelve years old, Honus followed his father and three older brothers into the coal mines. Honus also worked for a while in a steel mill and helped in a brother's barber shop, but he found that a better living could be secured on the ballfield. Honus and his brothers played sandlot ball for neighborhood, church, and company-backed clubs, occasionally pocketing a few dollars for their ef- forts.

  • Dave Berry and the Philadelphia Story
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 2, Annual (1980) DAVE BERRY AND THE PHILADELPHIA STORY The Very First N.F.L. When the Steelers won Super Bowl IX, the chroniclers of pro football nearly wet themselves in celebrating Pittsburgh's first National Football League championship. What few of the praisers (and probably none of the praisees) realized was that the 16-6 victory over Minnesota actually gave Pittsburgh its SECOND N.F.L. title. Of course, anyone can be forgiven such an historical gaffe. After all, that first championship came clear back in 1902. And almost no one noticed it then. Or cared. * * * * Throughout the 1890's the best -- and sometimes the only -- professional football teams of consequence was played in southwest Pensylvania: in Pittsburgh and nearby towns like Greensburg and Latrobe. By the turn of the century, Pittsburgh's Homestead team was fully pro and frightfully capable -- so much so that it could find few opponents able to give it any competition. Apathy set in among the fans. The team was too good. The Homesteaders always won, but so easily that they weren't a whole lot of fun to watch. After bad weather compounded the poor attendance in 1901, the great Homestead team folded. The baseball team was great fun to watch. The Pirates were the best in baseball, just like Homestead had been tops in pro football. But the Pirates lost occasionally. There was some doubt when they took the field. Pittsburgh, in 1902, was a baseball town. After a decade of watching losers on the diamond, Smokeville fans had become captivated by the ball and bat game.

On loan from the Tull Family Collection, Mazeroski’s iconic Game 7 uniform and bat, which have never been on display locally with the exception of a short stint at PNC Park last September, will be on view at the Sports Museum throughout the first month of the Pirates’ season, beginning today through Thurs., May 1 . “We are thrilled that Pirates fans and visitors to the Heinz History Center will have an opportunity to see these important artifacts from the 1960 World Series,” said Thomas Tull, chairman and CEO of Legendary Entertainment and part of the Steelers ownership group. “With the excitement surrounding the current Pirates team, we felt the time was right to loan these objects to the History Center and hopefully educate a new generation of Pirates fans about this incredible moment in sports history.” Mazeroski’s Pirates uniform and bronzed 35-inch Louisville Slugger bat will be accompanied by several 1960 World Series items from the Sports Museum’s collection, including the pitching rubber from which New York Yankees pitcher Ralph Terry served up the historic round tripper to Maz, as well as the first base he touched before rumbling towards home plate alongside a crowd of jubilant Pirates fans at Forbes Field.

  • Thestory of Forbes Field
    Ball i es: THE STORY OF FORBES FIELD bv Daniel L.Bonk Pirates baseball fans, between the 1991 and 1992 seasons, were subjected to a tease. The administration of Mayor PITTSBURGHSophie Masloff proposed building a new publicly financed base- ball-only stadium to be called Roberto Clcmente Field, inhonor of the late Pirates Hall of Fame outfielder. The proposal came as a shock to media and citizenry alike and was quickly embraced, surely, by every true baseball fan who ever bought a ticket at Three Rivers Stadium farther from the field than a box seat. Due to a variety of reasons, including a lukewarm reception from the general public asked to finance it,Masloff'quietly but quickly withdrew the proposal. Nevertheless, the city, 22 years after the opening ofThree Riv- ers, effectively admitted that itinadequately serves its most rou- tine function as the baseball home of the Pirates Clemente Field would have been both a step forward and back- ward — forward because itwas conceived along lines pioneered inBuffalo in 1988 with the opening ofPilot Field, home of the Pirates's minor league franchise, and backward because such neo- classic design tries to recreate the ambiance, intimacy, and reduced scale of baseball's classic old parks in Chicago, Detroit, Boston and New York.
