Exposition Park: 1891-1909 Home to the Allegheny County Indians This old ball park was on the city's north side, very near the current site of Three Rivers Stadium. The Home Plate location was in the Three Rivers Stadium parking lot mid-way between Gate B and C and the Clark Bar & Grill. It was on the river side of the General Robinson Street extension, and on the stadium side of the Fort Duquesne Bridge. Local SABR members surveyed the site and, at one time, marked the approximate home plate location with white paint (in the shape of a home plate). In fact, all the base locations are marked with white paint. Home plate was in a parking space, and many times, was covered with a parked car. The other bases were easily seen even when the lot was in use. In September 1998, a state-sponsored historical marker commemorating the first modern World Series was dedicated on the old ballpark site. The plaque was put into storage when Three Rivers Stadium was imploded in 2001. Stay tuned here for future developments. The site was actually the home to three versions of Exposition Park: the lower field (1882), the upper field (1883), and Exposition Park III (1890). In 1875, the first Allegheny Exposition was held in a hall on the flats along the north shore of the Allegheny River. The Exposition's goals were to promote Pittsburgh, display local products, and to provide some entertainment. In addition to the hall, there was some open space where horse races, circuses, and concerts were held. The American Association Alleghenies played baseball games here, in these open fields, starting in 1882. The Upper Field was hastily created when the lower field (closer to the river) flooded in 1883. Tired of the ballfields on the flood plain, the Alleghenies moved to higher ground at Recreation Park in 1884 (see above). The exhibit halls on this Exposition Park site burned down in 1883 and were later rebuilt across the river on the Point. With the North Side site now largely unoccupied, the new Players League built Exposition Park III very near the current site of Three Rivers Stadium in 1890. The Player's League folded after just one season, and the National League Pirates moved into Expo III in 1891. Most notable events: Exposition Park was the National League host for the first World Series in 1903. The Allegheny River flooded on the 4th of July 1902; more than a foot of water covered large parts of the outfield. It was the perfect time for a double header as the Bucs took on Brooklyn. A special ground rule was created: all outfield hits into the water were singles. The Buccos swept the double header. Capacity: 16,000 Dimensions: Left Field: 400 feet Center Field: 450 feet Right Field: 400 feet Exposition Park was noted for its twin spires behind homeplate on the roof of the grandstand. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad came to own the site. It was used briefly by the Federal League in 1914-1915, but thereafter, it was abandoned and gradually disappeared. By the mid-'20s, the railyard had grown to cover pretty much all of what had been the ballpark. A special thanks to Denis Repp (splinter@usaor.net) for his contribution to the sections on Exposition Park and Recreation Park. Denis sent me a follow-up note of interest. At the end of the inaugural 1883 season at Expo II, the American Association Allegheny ball club and the landlord of the exhibition grounds, the Exhibition Society, squabbled over $250 in rent, countered by a $3,000 threatened lawsuit for fence/grounds repairs as well as extra police security to protect two openings the Exhibition Society left in the Grounds (fencing I assume). On opening day, the Exhibition Society (allegedly) took control of the entrance gates from the ball club, and doubled the normal 25 cent admission and turned away those who showed up with just a quarter. The ball club and the landlord also bickered over control of various gates, with the landlord eventually declaring the lease "null and void" and claiming the club "couldn't lease the ground for any amount of money." The squabble was overcome by events when the Exposition Grounds buildings were destroyed by fire in the off season. The Alleghenys were offered a new park near the modern-day Strip District, but club ended up at Recreation Park for the 1884 season. (Source: Pittsburgh Post, 1883) July 10, 2012

Russ Wrightstone (1927 PHN) went 4 for 5 with his first home run of the year, four runs and seven RBI. Scot Thompson (1979 CUB) also belted his first homer and Joe Collins (1952 NYY) hit his sixth. The Mudpuppies blew up for eight runs in the eighth inning to further humiliate the Highlanders. Jack Harper (1901 SLN) pitched a complete game for just his third win of the year. Harper (3-9) allowed three runs on seven hits. Bob Moose (1968 PIT) threw five innings and was charged with seven runs on 10 hits. Steve Sundra (1943 SLA) was left in to finish the game, giving up 10 runs, five earned, on eight hits in three innings.

I decided that today's games I was just going to post the box score so you could see who was in the lineup and some stats so far. Game 1 was a NO-HITTER!!! Harry Coveleski beaned Harry Lumley in the first and his only walk came in the eighth I believe. He has won six consecutive starts for the Coal Miners. This was his sixth complete game and first shutout. You can see the box score at the bottom of this page at the strat fan forum. www.stratfanforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89045&page=25&p=1251907#post1251907
