We know Rickwood Field as a dropdown choice for a Negro League field in ATG. Did you know that Rickwood Field is still around and in use?! Did you know that the Cardinals and Giants are playing a regular season game there in 2024? Check out this 90-second video I just posted: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu4NtcIOnO2/ .

I did actually know those things and I love that the park still exists and that MLB will be playing in it. I did not know that Cobb and 42 were filmed there. Great video!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. You can see more of my 1-minute videos finding me on Instagram as "the_biomechanical_man" (like my Strat name).
Caught up with Cc Sabathia at Rickwood Field yesterday. We spoke about next year's MLB game at Rickwood Field and black players in baseball. We did not talk about his Strat-O-Matic baseball cards.
I'm really proud of MLB and my city of Birmingham for paying tribute to the Negro League players.
