A very special wall– Forbes Field.
The remains.
Forbes Field is long gone (1972)
-but the wall where the1960 World Series was won by Bill Mazeroski’s homerun stands.
It’s called the Greatest Homerun Ever. You can watch it at YouTube here
And the retaining walls of Pittsburgh are featured prominently in Rick Sebak‘s excellent video 25 Things I Like About Pittsburgh available for viewing on Youtube for a short time.
You can’t believe how many retaining walls there are in every neighborhood of the city.

Forbes Field is my favorite wall – October 13th they replay the 7th game of the 1960 World Series with Maz hitting the homer at 3:36. I go every year since I retired and it brings back such great memories. Thanks for posting that wall on your blog!
Cool video – and cool that the city kept the wall. I think the bronze statue of Bill is a darn near perfect replica!
That’s really cool, I especially love that wall where the chair is. That would be perfect for portraits!
Nice that the wall is still up.
