ABOUT RICKWOOD FIELD
Rickwood Field was the passionate pursuit of a young Birmingham, Alabama industrialist, Rick Woodward. While still in his 20s, Woodward bought controlling interest in the city's professional baseball team, the Coal Barons. He then sought help from the legendary Connie Mack in designing "The Finest Minor League Ballpark Ever" in this booming iron-and-steel town, the fastest growing city in the nation at that time.

Rickwood Field is America's Oldest Baseball Field, built in 1910. Modeled primarily after Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Pa. Rickwood Field lived up to its owner's wildest dreams. Over the years, this diamond dazzled with play by some of the greatest players in baseball history. The 1910s brought standing-room-only crowds and future hall of famers like Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Honus "The Flying Dutchman" Wagner, and Birmingham's hometeam sensation Burleigh Grimes, the last legal spitball pitcher in the Big Leagues.
