Baseball and football history between Rickwood and Legion fields
The oldest professional baseball stadium in the U.S., Rickwood Field, sits at the southern edge of Bush Hills. The facility was the passion project of a young Birmingham industrialist named Rick Woodward. When he was still in his 20s, Woodward bought a controlling interest in Birmingham's baseball team, the Coal Barons. He then teamed up with Connie Mack to design the "finest minor league ballpark ever." The excitement around the ballpark was so intense that the entire city closed for business on the park's opening day on August 18, 1910. Over the years, some of the greatest players in baseball history have played at this iconic ballpark. The Yankees and Babe Ruth were frequent visitors, along with legends such as Rogers Hornsby and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. Dizzy Dean lost 1-0 in one of the most famous games in the stadium's history. Generations of baseball fans have experienced the sport's magic, wonder and spectacle at this iconic ballpark. McLendon Park, just east of the neighborhood, is home to the iconic Legion Field. Fondly referred to as "The Old Gray Lady," Legion Field Stadium opened in 1927. Since then, the venue has gone from 21,000 seats to 71,000. The stadium is famous for hosting the annual Alabama-Auburn Iron Bowl, as well as UAB Blazers football games and soccer matches for the 1996 Olympics. Local high school games, music festivals and more have all taken place at this legendary venue.
