BamaJason Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 It was a great game. Mid-80 temps, a little low for this time of year, but made it quite an enjoyable day. Here are a couple of my favorite pics from where I was sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Every true baseball fan should attend the Rickwood Classic at least once. While a subpar facility by today's standards, Rickwood Field makes you feel like you are walking back in time when you see it. It is the oldest ballpark in America and a true landmark. Few ballparks still standing can match it's history. It's history dates from the barnstorming tours involving players such as Babe Ruth to Dizzy Dean winning a 1-0 game an old Minor League World Series to Willie Mays roaming the outfield at 17 yrs old. The ballpark has a true feel of history and greatness. The weather Wednesday was perfect and there was a nice crowd. I may see if I can dig up some old pics and post them on here. I didn't take any this week as I just sneaked over for a long lunch. Nice job with the photos Jason. Did you get one of the stadium replicas given away a few years ago??

Did you get one of the stadium replicas given away a few years ago?? Thanks for the comments on the pics. I took a couple hundred, but I especially liked the dive back to first. I also got a few of Donny Lucy doing the same thing. About 10 years ago (after the restoration) I went over to Rickwood and took about 50 shots with B&W film. They turned out great as I recall, but I can't find them now. I did not get a stadium replica during the promotion a couple of years ago, but I have noticed the gift shop at Regions Park sells a replica of Rickwood. I wonder if it is any larger or more detailed than the promotional item? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like Rickwood the thing I miss most about Bama. I still have my 2005 Rickwood photos some where I will see if I can dig them up.

Take a look at one up close and tell me what you think. I designed it. Oh yeah! I have checked that one out in the gift shop. It does have great detail. I went to Montgomery a couple of weeks ago when they were giving stadium replicas away. They were really small with much less detail than the Rickwood I've seen.
