Wish I was popping peanut shells at America’s oldest ballpark right now, watching the Birmingham Barons take on the Chattanooga Lookouts. The 17th Annual Rickwood Classic gets started in under an hour and I’m lamenting my own absence.
A vintage baseball game at its best – Rickwood Classic {2010}
As Vulcan is my witness, I will be there in 2013 with my entire family/entourage/thrill-seeking friends. In the meantime, I will search the world over for the perfect boater, so that I am properly dressed for the occasion.
For those of you who are there, would you please come and tell me all about it?
For those of you who’ve never been, here’s my take on it.
And, for those of you who should be ashamed of yourself for having never heard of this Magic City gem, get acquainted here or here.
Batter up!
