Awesome video!! Thank you!

[@MarciaCraytonPhotoTravel]

Thanks so much!

[@Macca50]

As a Birmingham native, thank you so much for this video!

[@MarciaCraytonPhotoTravel]

We lived Rickwood and everything else we saw. We’re planning to go back. We’re not done yet!

[@HarrisonPeloso]

This place needs its own UA-cam channel, also more updates on what’s going on with renovations

[@MarciaCraytonPhotoTravel]

We agree!

[@NostalgicSports48]

Nice video!

[@MarciaCraytonPhotoTravel]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@cathycosper643]

Sure did enjoy the story and seeing the two of you so excited! Grew up in a little town east of here so I was interested. Willie Mays died today and just wanted to look him up and came across this. Thanks!

[@MarciaCraytonPhotoTravel]

I thought about this place when I heard the news that Willie Mays died, too.

[@VintageBaseballCorner]

Great video, I really enjoyed it. I loved the enthusiasm for such a hallowed place. I've felt the same there. You truly feel like you're walking back in time. I had the privilege of taking Willie Mays back to the ballpark he played in as a teenager back in the early 2000s. We sat in the pressbox for almost 3 hours, just listening to him tell stories.

[@MarciaCraytonPhotoTravel]

Wow! What a great experience!

[@VintageBaseballCorner]

@MarciaCraytonPhotoTravel It was. I'm trying to put together a video or
two before the game next week. but time is running short, and I suck at editing video. ha ha. I have a ton of pics of the park from last fall and some from 10-15 years ago.

[@MarciaCraytonPhotoTravel]

@@VintageBaseballCornerWow! I hope to be able to see that.

[@wickedflagon]

I just got an old timey wool BBB hat, and hope to get to Rickwood one day!

[@MarciaCraytonPhotoTravel]

Let us know if you do!

[@SouthernFriedPap1st]

We were robbed of watching these men compete at the major league level.

[@MarciaCraytonPhotoTravel]

Absolutely!

[@stephenstorey1864]

You guys werent by chance the Mets fans we met on the field out there a while back?? I was with Buck Showalters cousin if that rings a bell?

[@MarciaCraytonPhotoTravel]

Possibly! It was last July, 2023. Hi!
