From our friends at The American Baseball Foundation:

BASIC Returns to Rickwood

Twenty three years after its birth at Rickwood Field in Birmingham's West side, BASIC returns to the oldest baseball stadium in the United States.  Partnering with the Friends of Rickwood (FOR), BASIC will bring its mix of academics and sports back to friendly confines.

You don't have to wait for June to enjoy the stadium.  This Saturday, April 10th, FOR hosts a memorabillia show from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.  Free admission. See poster below.
