Catch a game at Regions. Tour the new Negro League museum. Then continue the baseball pilgrimage at historic Rickwood Field, the oldest professional baseball stadium in the country. Larry Bleiberg writes in USA TODAY that Rickwood is among the 10 best sites for baseball buffs to visit and is “a lovingly restored 1910 minor league park.” He cites Josh Pahigian, author of 101 Baseball Places to See Before You Strike Out, as saying of Rickwood, “In its day it was novel and cutting-edge because it was made of brick and steel.” Rickwood is open for touring year-round and annually hosts the Rickwood Classic which draws baseball fans from around the country to see the Birmingham Barons play there in vintage uniforms. www.rickwood.com
