Do you like being first? Be among the first to get a glimpse of America’s oldest ballpark, Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, with me.
Major League Baseball is having a big game there this Thursday, June 20th, as a tribute to the Negro Leagues (the Birmingham Black Barons, with Willie Mays, played there for many years.)
It’ll be a big baseball event, and you can get a behind-the-scenes tour first with me, on Tuesday, June 18th.
That’s right, join me on Facebook Live @davidakellybooks on Tuesday, June 18th, at 7pm Eastern for a quick reading from Satchel’s Stolen Strike and go on a behind-the-scenes Rickwood Field research tour that I took to write the book!
You’ll learn about the “secret” outfield wall and just how many future Hall of Famers have spit on Rickwood’s hallowed infield dirt!
By the time MLB’s big game comes around on Thursday, June 20th, you’ll be a Rickwood Field pro!
