The Pittsburgh Keystones were a professional Negro league baseball team that operated in 1921 and 1922. The club was founded by Alexander McDonald Williams, a Barbadian immigrant and pool hall operator.[1] The Keystones' home field was Central Park, located in the Hill District at the corner of Chauncey Street and Humber Way.[2] The park was built by the prominent African American architect Louis A. S. Bellinger, who would later design Greenlee Field for the Pittsburgh Crawfords.[3][4]
In their first season the Pittsburgh Keystones played as associate members of the Negro National League. Managed by Fred Downer, they compiled a 7-14-1 record against league and other associate clubs.[5] The Keystones joined the league as full members in 1922, finishing sixth with a 14-23-2 record in league play under managers Dizzy Dismukes and Dicta Johnson.[6] The team disbanded after the season.
