How MLB's Rickwood Field game will make huge statement in community — and baseball
Tim Anderson, as a member of the Birmingham Barons, played in the 20th Annual Rickwood Classic Game against the Jacksonville Suns in 2015. The shortstop, at the time touted as the Chicago White Sox' No. 2 prospect behind southpaw Carlos Rodon, remembers there wasn't much fanfare around the game. While he was looking forward to returning to his roots — Anderson grew up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama — there was a limited marketing initiative and next to no national publicity for the Rickwood Classic Game.
