Pittsburgh’s Historic Ballparks with Mark Fatla

Pittsburgh’s Historic Ballparks with Mark Fatla In-Person

Pittsburgh's baseball history is rich with great players, teams, and historic moments. Mark Fatla, a lifelong baseball fan, has a deep personal connection to this history. His book, "Pittsburgh's Historic Ballparks" (Arcadia Press, 2023), chronicles the nine ballparks that have hosted major league baseball in Pittsburgh between 1876 and the present, including those of the Negro Leagues. Historic photographs illustrate the design and construction phases, the major changes as parks expanded and aged, and eventually their demolition. This talk and the accompanying book provide a unique take on the rich history of Pittsburgh's ballparks.
