Default 6/30 Today in History 1.Fred Clarke 2. Forbes Field

While the Philadelphia Athletics’ Shibe Park (later, Connie Mack Stadium) predated Forbes by two months, nothing in baseball’s brief history to that time rivaled the two-tiered palace that Pirates owner Barney Dreyfuss dedicated before a Cubs-Pirates game on June 30, 1909. Fittingly, the Cubs will honor the anniversary by playing in Pittsburgh tonight.
