Happy birthday Rickwood
The Friends of Rickwood has done a great job of period restoration with the park, which had, at one point, fallen into terrible disrepair.

I played a softball game at Rickwood once. It was pretty cool thinking about all the legends that played there back in the day.

Rickwood was ceded the title when Comiskey park was bulldozed for progress.
I suppose Rickwood will face the same fate. I've heard its in one of the nicer areas of Birmingham, so property values and projected resale developments must high and eager !
How's Legion Field holding up ?

What kind of hot dogs are they serving since the restoration?

I love that old place, but it is one hot arse dungeon in the summer when they hold the classic.

I watched some great players come through there in the 50's....good memories.
