"Rickwood Field to Host Cardinals and Giants in 2024"

The St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants will play a regular-season game at Rickwood Field, the oldest professional ballpark in the US and former home of the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues, on June 20, 2024. The game will be a tribute to the Negro Leagues and its greatest living player, Willie Mays, who played for the Black Barons as a teenager. The field will be renovated for the game, and on-field personnel for both teams will wear period uniforms highlighting the Negro Leagues histories of both St. Louis and San Francisco.
