Pittsburgh Stars
The
Pittsburgh Stars
or
Pittsburg Stars
were a professional
American football
team based in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
in 1902. The team was member of what was referred to as the
first National Football League
, which has no connection with the
National Football League
of today. The whole league was a curious mixture of baseball and football. The Stars were managed and funded, on paper, by
Dave Berry
, the manager of the professional
Latrobe Athletic Association
. However, the team was suspected of being secretly financed by the
Pittsburgh Pirates
. During the league's only year in existence, the Stars won the NFL's championship, beating out two teams that were financed by the owners of baseball's
Philadelphia Athletics
and the
Philadelphia Phillies
.
