Forbes Field has a special place in my heart

Forbes Field, a great venue for professional baseball.
1909-1970

My first professional baseball game, sat in left-field stands, about 1957.

The greatest World Series moment in history.
Bill Mazeroski's home run in the bottom of the ninth, 1960. 
Pirates' victory over nefarious New York Yankees in '60 series.

Home for Roberto Clemente for most of his career. Most electrifying player I have ever seen.

Lilly used to take two buses to Forbes Field every summer for the kids to see a professional game. Very memorable.

First time I saw Willie Stargell was at Forbes Field.
What a man!

So many great memories, three World Series titles.
