Rowsey Rowswell - the first "Voice of the Pirates"

While most of Roswell's early broadcasts were solo, he was joined by Pirates' co-owner Bing Crosby and eventually his successor Bob Prince for many games. 

He was famous for his unique sayings like "it's the old dipsy doodle, he swings and misses for strike three". 
and, 
"open the windows aunt Minnie, here she comes, it's a home run"  
or, 
"its' FOB folks" for full of bucks when they had the bases loaded. 

The Demolition of Forbes Field.

As the chairs are being removed from the stadium, the scoreboard pays homage to the soon to be bygone era.
Forbes Field opened June 30, 1909 and was home to the Pittsburgh Pirates after their move from Exposition Park on the North Side. 
The last game played at the ballpark was on June 28, 1970. It was demolished July 28, 1971. 
Babe Ruth hit his last two home runs at the ballpark. 
The actual home plate from Forbes Field has been preserved in the floor of Wesley W. Posvar Hall embedded in glass.
