PAA Forbes Field Ticket, 1909.
Here is an interesting ticket that I think our Pittsburgh residents would appreciate. The Pittsburgh Athletic Association (PAA) was an important and influential social club and athletic club that opened in 1908. They were an iconic fixture of Oakland, two blocks from Forbes Field. They fielded many accomplished teams in track, hockey and basketball.
This ticket was for their first outdoor track meet at Forbes Field, in October 1909 - just three months after Forbes Field opened.
As a side note, the Earl Christy girls or Gibson Girls are pretty neat too.
