Alabama News Center — Rickwood Field and Major League Baseball are set to put spotlight on Birmingham, Alabama

By: Michael Tomberlin

No other professional baseball park can boast a past like Birmingham’s Rickwood Field and, with Major League Baseball returning there later this month, its future is looking brighter than ever.

After a multimillion-dollar renovation, America’s oldest professional baseball park will host the San Francisco Giants against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 20. The game will be broadcast by Fox and will once again put the Magic City jewel in a national, even a global spotlight.

The city and state stand to benefit from the exposure and economic developers are taking advantage of the opportunity to host prospects and showcase the region.
