In 1931, construction began on Bedford Avenue between Chauncey and Duff in Pittsburgh's Hill District.

Future hall of famer Satchel Paige pitched to catcher Josh Gibson as City Council members, the Allegheny County commissioners and Mayor Kline watched from the stands.

Located a few blocks up Bedford Avenue from Ammon Field, it was also home to the Pittsburgh Keystones.

Contemporary city directories list the ballpark's address as 2501 Bedford Avenue.

During the 1938 season, Greenlee Field management prevented African Americans from obtaining jobs at the ballpark, angering the team's fans.
