Major League Baseball is heading to the oldest — and one of the most storied — ballpark in the nation.
On Thursday evening, the Cardinals and Giants will play at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, a ballpark that opened 124 years ago.
The Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues called Rickwood home from 1924-60. As such, many of baseball's greats have passed through: 181 future Hall of Famers, from Willie Mays to Jackie Robinson to Hank Aaron to Babe Ruth, played at the field.
Now, a new group of players are set to join that list. Extensive renovations have prepped the ballpark for the modern game, with Thursday's clash to be held in front of a crowd of roughly 8,300.
The teams will also don commemorative throwback uniforms, an homage to the history of the Negro Leagues in St. Louis and San Francisco. In fact, all 157 living Negro League players have been invited to Thursday's game, with 60 confirmed to be attending.
