185 Running the Bases at Rickwood Field

Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, was built back in 1910 and is the oldest baseball field in the US. It was home to both the Birmingham Barons and the Birmingham Black Barons, described as "the jewel of Southern black baseball".

The list of notable players who played at Rickwood Field is too long to put here, but you'll recognize some faces during the video.

Plus, a number of baseball movies were shot there due to the vintage look of the facility.

There are still events and special games played at the field, keeping it a very active historical site.
