As the nation is set to mark Juneteenth on Wednesday, I visited historic Rickwood Field (@rickwood_field) in Birmingham, Alabama, where the MLB will hold the first regular season game played at the oldest ballpark in the country to honor the Negro Leagues.I also chatted with 99-year old Bill Greason, the first Black pitcher in St. Louis Cardinals history. : @mrjaniak
