Tucked away in a quiet corner of the city lies the oldest professional ballpark in the United States.
On Aug 18, 1910, 10,000 people filled the seats at Rickwood Field. Today the park faces an uncertain future; one filled with words like preservation and restoration.
The structure is not what makes this park so legendary; it is the spirit of those who have played there before. Willie Mays, "Shoeless" Joe, Babe Ruth, and Dizzy Dean will forever immortalize the ballpark as host to the game's greatest heroes.
What will become of the park is unknown, but it’s iconic status will live on forever.
