America’s oldest pro baseball park is Rickwood Field, a place to learn about baseball history and, if you’re lucky, catch a game. Jordan Blankenship: When I was trying to come up with topics for this class I asked my friend what she thought I should do. I should of know that because Amy works in baseball she would have said Rckwood field. I liked the idea though and reached out to film my sense of place there. Gerald Watkins answered and I took Amy and Chelsie to film. As we were walking around and talking about the field, I knew we needed to do a film here. We have meet so many great people through the Friends of Rickwood and the Negro Southern League Museum. They are all so passionate about baseball and the history it has with the city of Birmingham. The most important thing I learned was that Rickwood is a living museum because of the people that work there and care about the field and I hope other people discover this through our film and pay them a visit.
