Greenlee Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, was one of few black-built and black-owned major league baseball field in the United States. The field was the dream of Gus Greenlee, owner of the Pittsburgh Crawfords. In 1931, construction started on Bedford Avenue between Chauncey and Duff in Pittsburgh's Hill District. The park opened on April 29, 1932, and reportedly cost $100,000. The first game was the next day, April 30, 1932, and had future hall of famers Satchel Paige pitching to catcher Josh Gibson as City Council members, the Allegheny County commissioners, and Mayor Kline watched from the stands. Greenlee Field held 7,500 spectators and it was the home field for the Crawfords throughout the Great Depression era. The Homestead Grays also played there for a time.

  • グリンリー・フィールド(Greenlee Field)は、アメリカ合衆国のペンシルベニア州ピッツバーグにかつて存在した野球場。ニグロリーグに参加していたのかつての本拠地球場である。 黒人が人種差別によって迫害され、黒人野球選手が大リーグへの参加を許されていなかった1930年代に建設された、史上初のニグロリーグ専用球場。それまでニグロリーグの試合は大リーグの球場を留守中に借りて行われており、しかもロッカールームなどグラウンド以外の設備の使用は禁じられていたため、当時実力・経済力ともに隆盛を誇ったクロフォーズは自身の専用球場建設に踏み切った。 ピッツバーグのヒル地区ベッドフォード通り沿いにあった土地を借り、10万ドルをかけて建設された6,000人収容の球場はクロフォーズオーナーのの名前を取って「グリンリー・フィールド」と名付けられた。1932年4月29日、を迎えてこけら落としの試合が行われた。 しかしその後、給料がよく人種差別もない中南米諸国のチームへ選手が流出するようになり、またグリンリー自身も儲けの少ない球団経営に興味を失ったことからクロフォーズは衰退。1938年12月10日、グリンリー・フィールド最終戦が行われ、翌年に球場は取り壊された。 (ja)
