what's filming in pittsburgh
Forbes Field towered above a picturesque city park making for a beautiful backdrop for the film. Angels in the Outfield became one of the first in a long list of feature films to be shot in Pittsburgh. The film focuses on the Pittsburgh Pirates and their race to the pennant. At the beginning of the film, the Pirates were in last place, which coincidentally reflected the teamâs real life situation. In 1950, with a record of 57-96, the Pirates finished in last place in the National League standings.
