  • Long Gone Reminder
    ARTI FACT LONG GONE REMINDER IN THE REVERED TRADITION OF NEIGHBORHOOD BALLPARKS, PITTSBURGH’S FORBES FIELD WAS ONE OF THE GREATS. Built in 1909, it was among the first made of concrete and steel, signaling the end of the old wooden stadiums. In a city known for its work ethic, Forbes Field bespoke a serious approach to leisure. The exterior was elaborate, the outfield vast. A review of the time stated, “For architectural beauty, imposing size, solid construction, and public comfort and convenience, it has not its superior in the world.” THE STADIUM WAS HOME TO THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES FROM 1909 TO 1970. In the sum- mer of 1921, it was the site of the first radio broadcast of a major league game. It was here that Babe Ruth hit his final home run. In later decades, a new generation of fans thrilled to the heroics of Roberto Clemente and his mates; Forbes was the scene of one of the game’s immortal moments, when the Pirates’ Bill Mazeroski hit a home run to win the thrilling 1960 World Series in game seven against the hated Yankees. The University of Pittsburgh’s towering Cathedral of Learning served as an observation deck for fans on the outside (pictured). AT THE DAWN OF THE 1970S, SEISMIC CHANGES IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY WERE UNDERWAY, and Pittsburgh faced an uncertain future. Almost as a ritual goodbye to the past, Forbes Field was demolished, replaced with a high tech arena with Astroturf at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers. Three Rivers Stadium was part of the multi-purpose megastadium wave of the 1970s.

  • Roberto Clemente, a Hero on and Off the Baseball Field
    Roberto Clemente, A Hero On and Off the Baseball Field Roberto Clemente, A Hero On and Off the Baseball Field by Caitlyn Meagher Jay Publishing via https://www.tradingcarddb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/59846 Roberto Clemente Roberto Clemente was a star baseball player. He was born in Puerto Rico and was the youngest of five children. As a child, he worked alongside his father in the sugar fields. His family soon realized he had athletic talent. Clemente began focusing on baseball. In 1955, the Pittsburgh Pirates selected him to be a part of their Major League Baseball team. He would go on to play for them for 18 seasons! Clemente was an expert on the baseball field. He played right fielder and won 12 Gold Glove Awards for his excellence in the outfield. One of his most memorable saves was crashing into the right field wall to catch a ball. Bob Stevens, a baseball writer, said the catch was "ranking with the greatest of all time..." This catch helped the Pirates win the game! Clemente would continue to make amazing saves for his team. He was also an incredible batter and hit several home runs throughout his career. In 1971, The Pirates went to the World Series, the most important game series in Major League Baseball. They played the Baltimore Orioles, a team that was heavily favored to win. Clemente hit a home run and saved many balls in the outfield. The Pittsburgh Pirates won the title! When he wasn't playing baseball, Roberto Clemente would often fly to Puerto Rico and other parts of Latin America.

  • Pittsburgh Baseball Lesson
    Sept. 2, 2001--- PITTSBURGH, Pa.--The national pastime is blessed with many beautiful new baseball stadiums, but none fit into the pastiche of community as well as PNC Park at North Shore in downtown Pittsburgh. The ballpark is muscled between a regentrified warehouse district and the Allegheny River, an appropriate location for a working-class town where five o'clock shadows are 24/7. It's like having a shot glass next to a beer. The Roberto Clemente Bridge rainbows the river. The former Sixth Street bridge was renamed in honor of one of the Pittsburgh Pirates' most beloved players. Clemente perished in a Dec. 31, 1972, plane crash while leading the Puerto Rican relief effort for earthquake-torn Nicaragua. He was 38. Sometimes Clemente would complain about his aches and pains. I can still see him twitching his neck while going to work in a bitter September wind. But he always got the job done with passion and pride. That's Pittsburgh. The Clemente bridge is closed to vehicles during game days, allowing pedestrians to approach the park with anticipation in each step--just as Clemente used to come to the plate against the Cubs. The right-field wall at PNC is known as "The Clemente Wall." It is exactly 21 feet high in honor of the right fielder's uniform number. One of the best places to watch the game is from the cheapest seat, a $9 ticket in the 300 section of the right field upper deck grandstands. This presents a glorious view of bridges, the north downtown skyline and the ballpark's "toothbrush" light standards.

  • The Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Club Is Threatening Legal Action Over The
    January 10, 2017 Policy Brief: Volume 17, Number 2 Pirates Threaten Legal Action Summary: The Pittsburgh Pirates baseball club is threatening legal action over the Sports and Exhibition Authority’s reluctance to grant the team’s request for ballpark repairs and upgrades. The dispute centers around a video scoreboard which the Authority claims is an improvement and falls outside the stipulations of the lease. Given that the taxpayers have largely paid for the stadium from which the team earns millions, the team should fund desired “improvements”. While spring training is a ways off yet, the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball club is playing hardball with the City-County Sports and Exhibition Authority (SEA) over repairs at PNC Park. The Pirates are asking the SEA to pay for capital upgrades to the ballpark which opened in 2001. The requested upgrades include repairs to seats, new carpeting for suites, painting, and new field lighting. In response, the SEA says it needs to explore whether or not it’s obligated to do so under its lease. Legal action is being threatened by the team. Presumably the lease details will determine what happens. PNC Park was built for $216 million and funded mostly with taxpayer money. Required annual base rent paid by the Pirates for leasing the Park is set at $100,000 per year until 2030. The team is also required to pay “excess gate” rent as well as “excess concession revenue”, each based on a percentage of benchmarks achieved by the team or its concessionaires. The lease also stipulates that the team consents to adding a ticket surcharge to the price of admission.

  • Pittsburgh Pirates Shoulder & Arm Care Manual
    Pittsburgh Pirates Shoulder & Arm Care Manual Compliments of Glossary of Medical Terms commonly used in these programs: Abduction: Movement of any extremity away from the midline of the body. (Example: Raising arms while performing a lateral raise.) Adduction: Movement of any extremity toward the midline of the body. (Example: Lowering arms after performing a lateral raise.) Anterior: In the front of; the frontside of the body. Closed Chain: A movement which involves an extremity pushing against a fixed or immovable object. This forces the body to use multiple muscles and joints to execute an exercise. The distal segment is not free (like pushing against the ground) creating a more functional movement. (Examples: Performing a push-up; a squat.) Depression: To move the scapula inferiorly (downward) along the rib cage. With this movement the shoulder goes in the direction of your feet…..depressing one’s shoulder. Distal: Farthest away from the midline of the body; farthest away from any point being described. (Example: The wrist is distal to the elbow.) Elevation: To move the scapula superiorly (upward) along the rib cage. With this movement the shoulder gets closer to the ear. (An example would be a “shrug”.) Extension: The action of straightening a joint; increasing the joint angle. (Example: While performing triceps pressdowns the elbow extends; increasing its amount of extension.) External Rotation: Lateral rotation of a joint; rotating towards the outside. Flexion: The action of bending a joint; decreasing the joint angle. (Example: While performing bicep curls the elbow flexes; increasing elbow joint flexion.) Horizontal Abduction: Moving the arm or leg away from the midline; the starting position being out in front of the body and while keep the arm or leg elevated, move it away from the midline (parallel to the ground).

  • Pittsburgh Pirates 2018 Marketing Plan
    Pittsburgh Pirates 2018 Marketing Plan Presented by: Claire Dalton 1 Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Marketing Plan Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Sales III. Promotions IV. Advertising V. Merchandising VI. Public Relations VII. Community Relations 2 I. Executive Summary Under the direction of Chairman of the Board Bob Nutting, the Pittsburgh Pirates organization's mission is to strive for excellence in every aspect of the organization, including the way the organization interacts with the community, its business partners and its fans. In the 2017 season, our attendance ranked 25th out of 30 for the entire MLB. We drew 1.9 million people to the ballpark, which is approximately 23,700 a game. The Pirates finished the season with a 75-87 record, fourth in the NL Central. This past offseason saw the trading of two of the franchise’s biggest names, Gerrit Cole and Andrew McCutchen. These trades were not well-received by fans, who believed that the ownership did not value winning. This season, we need to come up with a plan to increase attendance and regain our fan’s loyalty. Our goal is to increase attendance by 5%. In order to do so, we will need to be innovative in our sales efforts. Pittsburgh is a smaller market, so we must target local fans and visitors to sell single game tickets. We will also target area groups in an effort to sell more group tickets. We also need to come up with more benefits to attract and retain season ticket holders. Part of our mission is to create a fun environment for fans.
