History: Pittsburgh (along with Chicago) were members of the short-lived United States League in 1912. They joined the Federal League in 1913 when it was an outlaw minor league. The team was named after their manager, former Pirates pitcher Duncan Phillippe. When the league went “major” in 1914 the team was re-named the Stogies, and then the Rebels. Home games were played at Exposition Park, on the city’s North Side.
