The St. Louis Cardinals will play the San Francisco Giants tonight at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, honoring baseball's Negro Leagues. Rickwood, the oldest ballpark in America still in use, was once home to the Birmingham Black Barons, where a young Willie Mays played over 75 years ago.

Great story. I found the statement made, "fair is fair" regarding segregated seating to be somewhat ignorant.

[@ganjafarmer1572]

Worse than ignorant

If they really wanted a draw, they would've brought the Braves.
