And an awesome venue that still stands but seldomly used for professional baseball - Rickwood Field in Birmingham. Former home of the minor league Barons. Built in 1910. Oldest surviving professional ballpark.

I had no idea, just Googled it, that looks great, not sure if I'll ever be back in Alabama, but would love to visit that place, that outside facade looks awesome!!

And the names of the players who played there, no park still standing can boast these names:

Cobb, Ruth, Josh Gibson, Williams, Mays, Musial, Jackie Robinson....INCREDIBLE!!! Thanks for posting that.



completely unrelated, but fits.....

More than I'd thought.

Shea
Old Comiskey
Atlanta fulton county - But for Olympic baseball
Veterans - But for Army-Navy. Got to go on the field briefly after the game.

Soon the new Atlanta stadium, but it can only count as half since I was there for Olympic track and field and was in the half they kept to make it a baseball stadium.

Oddly all the minor league parks I've been to are still there, at least for now.
Wahconah park in Pittsfield Last wooden grandstand around, built in 1919
Municipal stadium in Waterbury - now reconfigured but still used for baseball just not minor league.
Lelacheur park Lowell - Newish and really a pretty park.
McCoy stadium in Pawtuckett
Holman stadium in Nashua.

The Birmingham Barons play one Turn Back the Clock game there each season. This year's game is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27 and will feature Darryl Strawberry as guest. I recommend adding it to one's travel schedule...

I'm probably off topic with these posts, so I'll stop after this one. When one visits the Rickwood Classic full access to the inside of the scoreboard is included. The entire ballpark is a step back in time...
