Celebrating the Negro Leagues and Rickwood Field

Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, is the oldest professional ballpark in the United States. The former home of the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues, some of the greatest players in history made it a field of dreams that broke down barriers, changed lives and inspired generations to come.
 

Together with Major League Baseball, Chevy is proud to be part of the Rickwood Field Tribute to the Negro Leagues. We’re just as proud of our team members with special connections to the Negro Leagues who participated in this 100th anniversary celebration.
