Greenlee Field: Building a Neighborhood Greenlee Field once stood at the corner of Bedford Avenue and Junilla Street in Pittsburgh’s Hill District. Built in 1932 by businessman Gus Greenlee, the stadium was home to the Pittsburgh Crawfords —one of the most dominant teams in Negro League baseball. The team’s roster included several future National Baseball Hall of Famers, including Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, and Cool Papa Bell.
