Chris EastRickwood Field in Birmingham Alabama is the oldest baseball park in the country. The Birmingham Barons (T206 Carlton Molesworth), the Black Barons (Satchel Paige and a young Willie Mays among others), and ML teams toured there (Ruth, Cobb, et al).
The AA Birmingham Barons currently play at a different stadium in Birmingham, but every season they have the "Rickwood Classic" where they wear throwback uniforms for a Southern League game at Rickwood. Awesome experience. Old Negro Leaguers and white players who played at Rickwood usually show up for the Classic, and although their numbers dwindle each year as age and mortality have taken a toll, man, what a dream it is to sit around with some of those guys listening to their stories.
