With the Changing times that came through Pittsburgh and all across the Baseball World, the Legacy Baseball League’s Pittsburgh Oilers are no different from the beating tides of change. With Tycoon John Warner purchasing the Oilers in a straight cash sale from Team Founder Chester Colfax, the Great War in Europe came to an end with drafted players returning home. Changes were discussed to the rules of the game, with changes to how the ball was treated, being replaced at the first sign of wear, and clamping down on pitchers tampering with the ball with spit or dirt. The Country is about to enter into an era of great prosperity. With that, the Oilers owner, John Warner, Determined to signal a new era of stability and ambition, Warner immediately announced the construction of a new ballpark in the Oakland neighborhood of the city on a narrow parcel of land bordered tightly by mills, warehouses, and modest office buildings. Because of the cramped urban footprint, the architects were forced to bring right field in close, but raised a towering thirty-foot wooden wall to keep line drives inside the yard.
The Park is set to open next year, in 1921, complete with a planned Civic affair consisting of a Brass Band, a parade, and the works. The future park is set to have a larger capacity than the current Oilers’ 5,500 seats, and reportedly, Center Field will be further inwards rather than the current venue’s 469 feet. Fans and players alike are eagerly awaiting their new steel and concrete home, which could be set to last a long time for many years to come.
