Drumroll, please...
The game will officially be known as “MLB at Rickwood Field: A Tribute to the Negro Leagues.”
The Birmingham Black Barons won Negro American League championships in 1943, 1944 and 1948 playing with Rickwood as their home field, but lost the Negro World Series to the Washington Homestead Grays all three times. The Black Barons played at Rickwood from 1920 through 1960. Minor league teams that called Rickwood Field home included the Birmingham A’s from 1967-75, with future Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson playing there in 1967 before quickly moving up to the Major Leagues and going on to star with the Oakland A’s. Previous minor league teams playing at Rickwood typically went by the name Birmingham Barons and played at the park when it opened in 1910, on into the 1960s.
