What is the date for the 2009 Rickwood Classic?
Thanks Glen, for your interest in the ball park and the 2009 Rickwood Classic. We do not yet have a confirmed date, as this is based on the Barons schedule, plus approval from their opponent, the Southern League, and the parent-clubs’ farm club directors. However, we anticipate it being held the last Wednesday in May. The 2009 Classic date will be announced upon confirmation from the various parties. Thanks again.
We have just completed a showcase at Rickwood Field. We were from Macon, Georgia and I did not realize the aweinspiring history of Rickwood Field. You have a gem. My son plays in Thomaston, Georgia for the Upson Lee Knights and we have the priviledge of playing high school ball at Historic Silvertown Ballpark. Our field was built in 1936 and was one of the thousands of textile fields from that era however ours is still standing and in great shape because of a 1995 County SPLOST that renovated the place. Rickwood Field was really awesome and my son had a ball.
