Pittsburgh's Oakland Neighborhood has been home to some of the greatest moments in sports history. Arguably the greatest home run ever hit in the World Series, Bill Mazeroski's Game 7 walk-off blast over the left field wall of Forbes Field, lifted the Pirates to glory in 1960. Built in the shadow of the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning, Pitt Stadium was the raucous home for six NCAA national championship teams and dozens of Panther pigskin legends. The Fitzgerald Field House transformed from hosting iconic Pitt basketball teams to housing some of the strongest college wrestling and gymnastics programs in the nation. The historic Duquesne Gardens held every imaginable sporting contest, from Pittsburgh's only season with professional basketball to the origins of Penguins hockey. Some of the Steel City's finest sportswriters present stories from Oakland's historic sports venues.
