This is an opinion column/charity baseball game post. Rickwood Field is a magical place. If you watched or attended the historic Major League Baseball tribute to the Negro Leagues game in June, you know what I’m saying. The oldest baseball stadium in America has its charms.

Rickwood was the Fairfield native’s home ballpark when he played for the Birmingham Black Barons.
