Adults are invited to join the Library for this Munch & Learn session.
Pittsburgh has an incredible baseball history with great players, teams and historic moments, but few realize that Pittsburgh has often been in the lead in ballpark design and development. Mark Fatla, lifelong baseball fan and author of “Pittsburgh’s Historic Ballparks” (Arcadia Press, 2023) chronicles the nine ballparks that hosted major league baseball in Pittsburgh between 1876 and the present, including the Negro Leagues. Historic photographs illustrate 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 perspective on the rich history of Pittsburgh’s ballparks. Mark's book will be available to purchase for $25.
This program will take place in the Township Community Center.
