From Factory to Field: The Dream of Baseball in Birmingham
On View Now - October 3, 2010

In celebration of Rickwood Field's 100th Anniversary, Vulcan Park and Museum presents From Factory to Field: The Dream of Baseball in Birmingham. This fascinating exhibition recounts the rise of baseball in Birmingham's company towns and takes visitors through the heyday of professional baseball with the Barons and Black Barons. Visitors will be introduced to unknown industrial league players as well as some of Birmingham's baseball luminaries – Willie Mays and Satchel Paige. From Factory to Field will feature rare archival photos from Rickwood Field's early days, vintage equipment and uniforms and souvenir promotional materials. Join us as we step back in time to explore how baseball has both mirrored and transformed the city over the years. Admission charged.
