Brady Stewart 1912

We discovered another view of one of our most popular images, view of Forbes Field (1970).  Brady Stewart Jr. took this photograph and many more during the 1970 WPIAL Championship baseball game Bethel Park Blackhawk’s vs. the Mount Pleasant Vikings.  It was a well-played game with the difference being the two Gorinski brothers who played for Mount Pleasant along with questionable decisions on the base pads for Bethel Park.  Yes, if this writer was a little faster in the 30 yard dash, Bethel Park would have won the game… and if the 3^rd base coach would have held up the stop sign on two different occasions, Bethel Park would have won.  But as we all know in sports, ifs and maybe always come up when you lose close games.  This image is the companion view to image, looking at left field from the 1^st base side upper deck.

We created a montage of our favorite views of Forbes Field; Forbes Field  under construction, Roberto Clemente smiling during a charity baseball game against the Cleveland Indians, Pittsburgh Pirates in the dugout watching the game, Pittsburgh Steelers posing for a publicity photo at Forbes Field.
