19th Century Bucs

Fan of all eras of Pittsburgh baseball history. Posts likely on the really old, replies and reposts all over the place. This account is run, for better or worse, by SABR member Andy Terrick.
For Skenes, no. If it were Ed Morris, I'd be knocking on the ticket window.
I bet some Yinzer is already in line outside PNC Park #LetsGoBucs

@mattalbertson.bsky.social In the 1889 book ‘Our Police;,’ on p249 is an image of a rogue’s gallery. Caught the writing in the lower left hand corner. Don’t know why you’ll ever need it, but sending your way just in case.

Thanks to all the Veterans out there. Here are a few from the early days of the Pirates organization and Pittsburgh baseball, including Al Scandrett, Al Pratt, William Coates, and Phil Auten (pretty sure he’s there, we just have no clue who he is)

Don’t think this is quite #SABRLandmarks worthy until there’s a plaque, but awesome to see anyway. Always love new Keystones content. Here’s Hill batting many moons later, (around 1920), as seen in The Competitor magazine, Vol. III No. 3.

1890s bopper Elmer 'Mike' Smith. We know they called him Mike, though we don't really know why.

Not finding images of the people that seem lost to history, but am coming across new images of those that are already known. Take for instance, William Coates, ‘manager’ for a time of the 1877 Allegheny team. Here he is from an 1889 book called ‘Our Firemen.’

Doing some 1927 World Series research. Have that sense that @olbermann.bsky.social knows exactly where these balls are.
I realize it was meant for attention-getting purposes, but $750 still seems like a lot of money for 1927.

I like how it talks about the 'new Three Rivers Stadium,' considering the thing has been gone for 25 years now. Future generations will have to rely on @wikipedia.org to understand the reference.

Did you know that Ralph Kiner, born #OTD in 1922, is the only Hall of Famer born in New Mexico?
The @pirates.com star was the first National League player to hit 50 home runs in two different seasons and still holds the franchise record with 54 in 1949.

Nice try, Ontario. Most of us don't like Ronald Reagan, and the ones who do will claim that was AI.

Happy to see the Pens beat the current NHL equivalent of the mid 1890s Baltimore Orioles.

James R. Harrison wrote an account of the 1925 World Series finale that is, for my tastes, a model of its kind. I offer it as an antidote to the stat-laden reports that are too often produced today, derived from play-by-plays and, for some outlets, A.I. medium.com/@thorn_john_...

Imminent update to the @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social spreadsheet: the new Pittsburgh Walk of Fame (unveiled today) features Roberto Clemente. Hoping Honus Wagner is soon to follow.
