GIANTS SET TO PLAY AT HISTORIC RICKWOOD FIELD, HONOR NEGRO LEAGUES

The San Francisco Giants will make history on June 20, when they take a road
trip to Birmingham, Alabama to play the St. Louis Cardinals at historic Rickwood
Field.

SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco Giants will make history on June 20, when they
take a road trip to Birmingham, Alabama to play the St. Louis Cardinals at
historic Rickwood Field.

"Rickwood Field was the place that a 17-year-old kid, named Willie Mays began
his illustrious professional baseball career," said Bob Kendrick, the president
of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City.





Before Willie Mays was a Giant, before he was a hall-of-famer and before he left
an indelible mark on baseball, as one of the greatest to ever play the game, the
Say Hey Kid was a star for the Birmingham Black Barons.

"That makes the game even more meaningful for Giant fans," said Kendrick. "Your
greatest star, that’s where he grew up, played and was part of the Negro
Leagues."



The special Giants-Cardinals match-up will be the first AL-NL game at Rickwood
Field. Rickwood Field is the oldest professional ballpark in the US and was home
to the Black Barons from 1924-1960.

"I wanted them to understand they have the opportunity to be part of making
history," said Kendrick, who spoke to Giants players before African American
Heritage Night "This is not just one of 162 regular season games, this is
historic."

Kendrick also joined former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for a panel
on the impact of the Negro Leagues.

"Birmingham was a place where you couldn’t go to a movie theater, a restaurant
if you were Black," said Rice. "Rickwood Field was where the Black high schools
played all their sports."

Rice was born in Birmingham during the segregation era. Her mother was Mays’
ninth grade English teacher, a story she once shared with the hall-of-famer.

"He said ‘oh I remember, Ms. Ray, she told me, son you’re going to be a
ballplayer, if you need to get out of here a little early, you can." Rice
recalled his response.

While the Negro Leagues were no longer prominent when she was growing up, Rice
says the impact of what those players did and endured, lived on.

"When you look back at the Negro Leagues, that exceptional passion, that
exceptional commitment, that exceptional defiance," said Rice. "Without which
frankly, I don’t think Black America exists today. I think it was emblematic of
so much more than what was happening in sports."

The game comes on the heels of Major League Baseball including statistics from
the Negro Leagues in its historical records. It’s steps like this, that Kendrick
hopes will preserve the legacy of these remarkable athletes. "It moved Negro
Leagues baseball history, one more step closer to mainstream and that’s been the
mission."

KTVU will be traveling to Birmingham to cover "MLB at Rickwood Field: A Tribute
to the Negro Leagues." Be sure to follow our coverage of the historic game.
