Pittsburgh Field Club
What is it about?
In the 1870s, a group of Pittsburgh gentlemen, mostly of British heritage, laid the foundation for what has endured to be the oldest sports club in Western Pennsylvania. At the time, cricket was a significant aspect of British culture in this country and increased in popularity in the post-Civil War period, while the sport of golf had yet to experience its boom. Therefore, the men formed the Pittsburgh Cricket Club, which was the early predecessor of what we now know at the Pittsburgh Field Club. The Cricket Club was chartered on April 1, 1882, and the date has long been considered the Field Club's birthday.
