    When you attack fear head on by acknowledging, and remembering all history. You're aware of how enriched your life truly becomes. Therefore realizing the importance of the part you play in the present by making the future a better experience for those who follow.

    This video was beautifully presented and I'm so glad I watched it. The love put into honoring the Negro League, it's players and this field...just wonderful. I didn't want it to end. Loved the Dusty choice as Narrator. Well done Giants!

    Tremendous , excellent production values throughout. Born and raised in San Francisco I now live in New Orleans and when I saw the ticket prices for the MLB game, I thought I would stay home. Making my Birmingham hotel reservation right now. I will be bringing my "Willie Mays Flame Treated Adirondack Big Stick 302" bat, all 34 1/2 ounces of it.

      Did they issue actual physical tickets? If so, those are awesome souvenirs and they're certain to be collector's items.

    I played state playoff games in Rickwood my junior and senior years in high school in 09-10. It’s a crazy feeling being in that park. I still drive by it all the time while I’m working. So much history in that place. I just hate that it’s in such a bad neighborhood

    Was completely honored to get to watch the barons and biscuits play a game on this field after it was redone. And also have my two young boys and mom experience it with me.

    MLB should force John Fisher to sell. Negro ball players like Frank Robinson played in Oakland, Raimondi Park
