Homestead Grays - Home Fields

Home Fields

From the late 1930s through the 1940s, the Grays played their home games at Pittsburgh's Forbes Field, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. However, during this same period the club adopted the Washington, D.C. area as its "home away from home" and scheduled many of its "home" games at Washington's Griffith Stadium, the home park of the then-Washington Senators. During these games, they were alternatively known as the Washington Grays or Washington Homestead Grays.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or fields:

    Since you are my readers, and I have not been much of a traveler, I will not talk about people a thousand miles off, but come as near home as I can. As the time is short, I will leave out all the flattery, and retain all the criticism.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Forget about the precious sight
    of my lover’s face
    that steals away my heart.
    Just seeing the borders
    of the fields on the borders
    of her village
    gives me instant joy.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
