Fan of all eras of Pittsburgh baseball history. Posts likely on the really old, replies and reposts all over the place. This account is run, for better or worse, by SABR member Andy Terrick.
Doing some research work on the 1927 World Series. Which inevitably means I have to pull out the old dictionary.

Most copies probably ended up in the East River or some landfill , along with all those other ‘52 Topps high number cards. It’s not like he’s a well-remembered coach (@brucemcclurenh.com may disagree), but that’s a great looking piece of cardboard.

Sadly, the main statistic many of us remember him for is two wives.

Alexander Williams, the person behind the first Black owned and operated ballpark, was in an unmarked grave for decades in Highwood Cemetery. No more. Thanks to the Josh Gibson Fndtn and donors, he now has a headstone.

I see the creativity of @heavyjstudios.bsky.social hasn’t flagged a bit since I first got to know him.
Thanks for the awesome cards, Jason! I’ve never seen that ‘71 WS Fleer card at any local shows.

You know what happens when someone mentions Junior's birthday...that means I have to mention Stan the Man's (standing, second from left) birthday, too, born 105 years ago today.

For Skenes, no. If it were Ed Morris, I'd be knocking on the ticket window.
I bet some Yinzer is already in line outside PNC Park #LetsGoBucs

@mattalbertson.bsky.social In the 1889 book ‘Our Police;,’ on p249 is an image of a rogue’s gallery. Caught the writing in the lower left hand corner. Don’t know why you’ll ever need it, but sending your way just in case.

Thanks to all the Veterans out there. Here are a few from the early days of the Pirates organization and Pittsburgh baseball, including Al Scandrett, Al Pratt, William Coates, and Phil Auten (pretty sure he’s there, we just have no clue who he is)

Don’t think this is quite #SABRLandmarks worthy until there’s a plaque, but awesome to see anyway. Always love new Keystones content. Here’s Hill batting many moons later, (around 1920), as seen in The Competitor magazine, Vol. III No. 3.

1890s bopper Elmer 'Mike' Smith. We know they called him Mike, though we don't really know why.

Not finding images of the people that seem lost to history, but am coming across new images of those that are already known. Take for instance, William Coates, ‘manager’ for a time of the 1877 Allegheny team. Here he is from an 1889 book called ‘Our Firemen.’

Doing some 1927 World Series research. Have that sense that @olbermann.bsky.social knows exactly where these balls are.
I realize it was meant for attention-getting purposes, but $750 still seems like a lot of money for 1927.

I like how it talks about the 'new Three Rivers Stadium,' considering the thing has been gone for 25 years now. Future generations will have to rely on @wikipedia.org to understand the reference.
