Rickwood Field was built in 1910 so that Rick Woodward would have a showplace for his baseball team the Birmingham Barrons. Little did he know that 114 years later, Major League Baseball would host a game on this same field. The field has hosted concerts, football, and baseball games over its existence. It was also home to the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Southern League. There were many famous players that suited up at the field but none more so than a son of Fairfield, Alabama, Willie Mays.
