	Bill McKechnie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, McKechnie made his major league debut in 1907 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, appearing in 3 games, before reemerging with the team in 1910 in a more substantial role.
		McKechnie got his first taste of managerial duties in 1915 when he managed 102 games for the Newark Pepper, leading the team to a 54-45 record.
		McKechnie was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.

	Pittsburgh Pirates : News : Spring Training Ballpark - McKechnie Field (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		McKechnie Field -- which is named after Pittsburgh native, former Bradenton resident and Hall of Fame manager Bill McKechnie -- was originally built in 1923 and was renovated to become one of baseball's finest facilities between 1991-93.
		McKechnie Field was even pulled back from the street, allowing for the creation of a public plaza and walkway around the park.
		Inside McKechnie, fans moved closer to the field by expanding seating capacity from approximately 4,200 seats to more than 6,500 seats.

	Pirates Notebook: Pirates hope 'little field' will improve defense
		McKechnie Field, their home base in Florida, was the only major-league practice facility that lacked an extra field for infield practice.
		Informally know as the "little field," it can be used by infielders to take extra ground balls after being pulled from spring-training games.
		The money for the field came from the sale of programs and other items, according to Ted Czerwinski, president of the boosters club.

	PLAY BALL!
		The Phillies made their 2004 debut in the Brighthouse Network Field, adjacent to Old Coachman Road at the Joe DiMaggio Field complex, signing a 20-year agreement to continue training in the city of Clearwater.
		Though there has been baseball played at McKechnie Field since 1923, it's actually one of the newer stadiums in Florida spring training as the facility was completely rebuilt in 1993.
		McKechnie Field is a very basic park in other ways: it doesn't have a parking lot (all the available parking is street parking in the surrounding neighborhood) and it doesn't have any lights, so all home games are day games.

	History of the collection - Charles Woodward Memorial Room
		P.A. Woodward was in the office which was shared with Dr. Robert E. McKechnie, nephew of a former Chancellor of the Unversity of British Columbia.
		McKechnie persuaded Percival Archibald Woodward, known as "Puggy" because of his childhood exploits, to visit the "fl hole" where the lights were dim and the place stank of musty papers.
		Thanks to Dr. McKechnie, Dr. Turvey, and the Woodward Trustees the telephone link with the National Library of Medicine in Washington, D.C. was one of the first established anywhere.

	Pirates' Mackowiak, Wilson in limbo
		But their long-term roles in what has become a crowded outfield are as cloudy as the overcast skies that hung over the Pirates' first exhibition yesterday.
		Wilson, expected to platoon in right field with Matt Stairs, was in the lineup because the Phillies' starting pitcher was left-hander Randy Wolf.
		Friends on and off the field, they were workout partners well before spring training opened and needle each other daily about their situations.

		Along with hitting.327, good for fifth in the league, with 12 home runs and 75 runs batted in, he became the 11th catcher in baseball history to steal more than 20 bases.
		Remember, that's the same Brown who dropped a fly ball in left field that nearly cost the Cubs a wild-card berth.
		The Tampa native is determined to come back from a poor 1998, when he hit.284 with 19 HRs and 81 RBI, sub-par numbers for his standard.

		He bypassed the cages on Friday to hit pitches thrown off the McKechnie Field mound by batting coach Gerald Perry, homering at least twice.
		Around the horn: Right-hander Joe Roa was scheduled to pitch Friday, but was held back for at least a day by a groin strain.

		If Legends Field is a Lexus and Bright House Networks Field is a Cadillac, then McKechnie Field is that dependable, beat-up pickup truck that's seen its better days but just keeps running, and running.
		So the few improvements that were made to McKechnie - which was built in 1923 - were enough to keep the Pirates from leaving.
		It was great sitting with John Schaeffer and Jean Wengert (pictured) on Day One at Bright House Networks Field as they spotted lots of their old friends for the first time in a year.

		It was the peak of spring break travel season in Florida, as noted by the Islander, one of the weekly newspapers serving nearby Anna Maria Island, a beach and resort community along the Gulf of Mexico.
		A waitress at Popi's Place, the diner next to McKechnie Field where I took my 7-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter for lemonade while I assessed my scalpee strategy, mentioned to me that this spring had been the busiest ever as far as she could tell.
		For example, at McKechnie Field, you can walk up to a fence running along the rightfield stands and watch pitchers warm up in the bullpen, and get their autographs.

		His past two appearances lowered his earned run average to 4.21 and impressed management enough to give him his job back.

		He then drove back to McKechnie Field and prepared to pitch in relief of starter Josh Fogg.
		After simulating an inning in the bullpen, Duke replaced Fogg in the sixth and worked the next two innings, giving up a homer to Ryan Ludwick, the second batter he faced.

		OOB upon arrival at McKechnie Field. Here I am showing my enjoyment of the Pirate logo by posing in front of the Clubhouse Store, one of my favorite pictures from the trip.
		Given the amount of time "Big Jake" spent cruisin' for babes, it is pretty sad that this was his only catch: A Seven Foot Parrot (left).
		We snapped this close-up for his edification, though he was largely uninterested once he saw she had a baby carrier. He is a professional, though. Notice how he faces the field, but cuts his eyes to the side to check her out. Sheer babe-watching genius.

		As a result of a feud with league president Ban Johnson, who rigidly enforced rules about rowdyism on the field of play, McGraw jumped leagues to manage the New York Giants in the middle of the 1902 season.
		Consequently the field was known as Hilltop Park and the team became known as the New York Highlanders.
		As the Highlanders the team enjoyed success only twice, finishing in second place in the American League in 1904 and 1910, but otherwise much of the next fifteen years was spent in the cellar.
