TEAM INFORMATION

Don Logan, Stan Logan, and Jeff Logan

Operating as Birmingham Barons, LLC, Don Logan and his two sons, Jeff and Stan, purchased the Barons franchise from the Elmore Sports Group Ltd. following the 2005 season. The Birmingham Barons, LLC became the 11th owner of the Barons’ storied history which spans more than 100 years. The Logan family has significant roots in the Birmingham community and plans on continuing the tradition of fun, family oriented entertainment that the Birmingham area has come to expect from the Barons.

Don moved his family to Birmingham in 1970 as he began his 22-year career with the Southern Progress Corporation. He moved to New York in 1992 and became CEO of Time, Inc. Early in 2006, Logan stepped down from his day-to-day responsibilities as the Chairman of Time War-

Since returning to Birmingham, he has joined the boards of the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham, the Auburn University Foundation, and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. Jeff and Stan were both raised in Birmingham and graduated from local high schools. After graduat-ing from Auburn University, Jeff and Stan both spent time living and working in Birmingham. Stan began his career in banking, working for SouthTrust Corporation for 12 years. Jeff is currently the CEO of Seek Publishing and also serves as a board member of MCM Technology.

In addition to his degree from Auburn, Stan also graduated from Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law and practiced law in Birmingham for four years before moving to Atlanta. While in Birmingham, Stan was an active member of Operation New Birmingham’s Community Affairs Committee and the Birmingham Bar Association. Stan currently serves as Managing Partner for the Birmingham Barons and continues to practice law. He also serves as the Southern League’s represen-tative on Minor League Baseball’s Board of Trustees.

REGIONS FIELD & ATTENDANCEThe 2015 season continued the success of baseball in Downtown Birmingham, as 444,639 fans filed through the gates of Regions Field. The Barons saw their attendance numbers climb once again, making 2015 now the most-watched season of Birmingham Barons baseball since Michael Jordan was on the roster in 1994. Now entering its fourth season as a focal point of downtown Birmingham, Regions Field posted the best attendance in the Southern League by nearly 140,000 total fans. The 2015 Barons season marked the second-highest attendance total in Southern League history (1994) and gave the Barons the three highest attendance marks since 1964 (1994, 2015, 2014)

Leading the league in attendance for the third consecutive year, the Barons once again upped the ante with 13 posted sellouts during the regular season as well as a new single game attendance record. On August 15, 8,577 fans packed into Regions Field to watch the Barons take on the Montgomery Biscuits in a 12-inning duel. This bested the previous record of 8,513 fans which was posted when the Chicago White Sox came to Birmingham for an exhibition game.

TIM ANDERSONPlaying his first full season in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, AL native Tim Anderson showed the Southern League why he was selected 17th overall in the 2013 MLB draft. The shortstop picked up right where he left off by starting the season with hits in 10 of his first 11 games, including six multi-hit efforts. From the leadoff spot, Anderson hit for the cycle May 9 at Montgomery ending his day 4-for-6 with three runs and three RBIs as part of the Barons’ 8-7 victory over the Biscuits. Entering 2016, Baseball America named Anderson the top prospect in the White Sox organization.

TYLER DANISHMaking his Double-A debut in 2015, right-handed pitcher Tyler Danish displayed why the White Sox selected him in the second round of the MLB’s 2013 draft instantly with the Barons, picking up four wins in his first four decisions. On the year, Danish tied for the team lead with 26 starts; tossing two complete games, forcing 25 double plays, and limiting opposing batters to a .182 average with runners in scoring position and two outs.

COURTNEY HAWKINSSettling into left field at Regions Field, outfielder Courtney Hawkins ranked near the team lead in RBIs (41), home runs (9), and slugging percentage (.410) despite appearing in just 78 games. The White Sox first round pick (no. 13 overall) in the 2012 MLB draft, Hawkins posted a trio of three-hit games in May before being sidelined by injury. Hitting out of the three spot, Hawkins posted an impressive 1.026 OPS with 14 hits and 17 RBIs with runners in scoring position & two outs.

MYLES JAYEBirmingham’s workhorse on the mound with 147.2 innings in 26 starts, right-handed pitcher Myles Jaye led the Barons with 12 wins en route to a 12-9 record on the season. Heating up toward the middle of the season, the now 24-year-old Jaye won 9 of 10 decisions from June 1st to August 1st including a run of eight straight wins that lasted from the start of June until July 21st. A stalwart of the middle innings, Jaye finished strong in his appearances allowing just two runs in the sixth and seventh frames of games where he remained on the mound late. (22 IP throughout the season)

CHRISTIAN MARREROAfter splitting time as a designated hitter, first baseman, and left fielder, Christian Marrero settled into right field for the Barons and delivered another exceptional year while also serving as the team’s cleanup hitter. A bruising bat in the middle of Birmingham’s lineup, Marrero delivered 13 home runs and 37 extra base hits (4 3B, 20 2B). A spark plug to the Barons offense, Marrero hit .312 on the year when leading off an inning, added four homers and 22 walks to boost his OBP to .419 when leading off.1

JACOB MAYHolding down center field and appearing in 98 games for the Barons, the now 24-year-old Jacob May finished second on the team with 37 stolen bases during his first full year in AA Birmingham. A third round selection of the White Sox in 2013, May ran out to a strong start with a .313 average in April (25-for-80) and went into the All-Star break hitting .311 (64-for-206). The switch-hitting May surged against southpaws throughout his first Southern League campaign, bolstering a .338 average (24-for-71) for a .338/.413/.437 slash line against lefties.

FRANKIE MONTASA fire-balling right-hander with a fastball that peaked at 102 MPH, Montas made his Major League debut with the White Sox as a September call-up last season. Prior to his debut Montas, then 22, threw the Barons lone no-hitter of the season June 9th against the Tennessee Smokies in the first game of a seven inning doubleheader. On the season, Montas pitched his way to a 5-5 record with a 2.97 ERA in 23 starts, striking out a team-high 108 opposing batters. He now pitches in the Los Angeles Dodgers system and was acquired in a three-team deal that sent Todd Frazier to the White Sox this offseason.

JOEY DEMICHELEA 2015 Rawlings Minor League Gold Glove Award Winner for his outstanding defense at second base, Joey DeMichele appeared in 135 games for the Barons during the 2015 season, his first in Double-A. DeMichele did his damage bolstering the back half of the Barons lineup, posting a .296 batting average (21-for-71) from the eight spot and a .288 clip (34-for-118) from the seven hole. Aiding Birmingham in posting a league-high 12 extra inning wins (12-6 overall, tied for the best % in the league) DeMichele went 4-for-9 including three RBIs and two runs in extra frames for the Barons.

NETTING EXTENSION: Complying with the suggestions from Major League Baseball, Southern League teams have extended the protective screeen behind home plate out toward the dugouts on the first and third base side. The protective screens at Regions Field have been extended to the end of the dugouts to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the ballpark. “Major League Baseball prides itself on providing fans in our ballparks with unparalleled proximity and access to our players and the game taking place on the field,” MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “At the same time, it is important that fans have the option to sit behind protective netting or in other areas of the ballpark where foul balls and bats are less likely to enter.

PACE OF GAME & THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAY: In addition to the pitch clock behind center field that was implemented prior to the 2015 season, Southern League clubs will also comply with the MLB’s new pace of play rules that were announced in February, 2016. The time between innings will be shortened, with all mound visits now timed and limited to 30 seconds each. In addition, the “neighbor-hood play” at second base will now be strictly enforced, and runners must make a bona fide attempt to reach and remain on base. “Roll Block” slides are not allowed; both runner and batter will be called out if interference is determined.

SUSPENDED GAME RULE: A game terminated by curfew, time limit, darkness or weather is a suspended game if it has progressed to be an official game. A game terminated by a light failure or malfunction of mechanical field devices under the control of the home club is a suspended game anytime after it starts. Inning In Progress: If a legal game is called by weather while an inning is in progress and before it is completed, it is a suspended game if: (A) the visiting team has scored one or more runs to take the lead and the home team has not scored or (B) the visiting team has scored one or more runs to tie, and the home team has not tied or retaken the lead. If a legal game is tied when called because of weather and neither of the above situations prevails, it is a tie game and must be replayed in its entirety. The resumption of the suspended game must take place prior to the net single game between the teams at the same site, if possible.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE CURFEW: No inning may begin after 12:50 AM. Any inning in progress at 12:50 AM may be played to its comple-tion. This rule is suspended for the final game of the season between two clubs at their series site.

MINOR LEAGUE FREE AGENT RULE: When a player signs his first minor-league contract (one-year) the organization, at its option, may renew the player’s contract each year for six more years (a total of seven). After the sixth renewal, or if the player has been released, the player is granted free agency and can sign a minor-league contract (one to seven years in length) with any other organization. At the end of the contract (no yearly renewals allowed), the player is a free agent again.

RULE FIVE DRAFT ELIGIBILITY: Eligibility for the Rule 5 Draft, held each year at the Winter Meetings is: (1) a player not on the Major League 40-man roster; (2) a player who is 18 or under (as of the previous June 5), and is in his fourth Minor League contract season, or (3) a player who is 19 or older (as of the previous June 5) and is in his third Minor League contract season. If the player is a Major League selection, the selecting organization must pay $50,000 to the reserving organization. Organizations pay $12,000 for a Triple-A selection and $4,000 for a Double-A selection.

DETERMINING A SAVE: Credit a pitcher with a save when he: (1) is the finishing pitcher for his team; (2) is not the winning pitcher; and (3) he qualifies under one of the following conditions: (A) he enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning, or (B) he enters the game regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat or on-deck, or (3) he pitches effectively for at least three innings in his team’s victory.

CONSECUTIVE-GAME HITTING STREAK: A consecutive-game hitting streak shall not be terminated if the player’s plate appearance(s) result in a walk, hit by pitch, defensive interference or sacrifice bunt. The streak shall terminate if the player has a sacrifice hit and no walk.

CONSECUTIVE-GAMES PLAYED STREAK: A consecutive-game streak shall be extended if the player plays ½ inning of defense, or if he completes a time at bat by reaching base or being put out. A pinch-running appearance shall not extend the streak. If a player is ejected from the game before he can comply with the requirements of this rule, his streak shall continue.

BATTING AVERAGE: Divide the number of hits by the number of at-bats.

EARNED-RUN AVERAGE: Multiply the number of earned runs by nine; take that number and divide by number of innings pitched.

SLUGGING PERCENTAGE: Divide the total bases of all safe hits by the total times at bat (at-bats do not include walks, sacrifices, times awarded first base on interference or obstruction, or hit by pitch).

ON-BASE PERCENTAGE: Add hits, total walks, and hit by pitch. Divide this number by the total of at-bats, total walks, hit by pitch and sacrifice flies (times awarded first base on interference or obstruction are not figured into on-base percentage).

FIELDING PERCENTAGE: Divided the total putouts and assists by the total putouts, assists and errors.

THE “MAGIC” NUMBER: Determine the number of games yet to be played by the first-place club, add one, then subtract the number of games ahead in the loss column of the standings from the closest opponent.

The iconic left field scoreboard at Rickwood Field, America’s oldest in-use ballpark. The Barons played at Rickwood from 1910-1987 before moving to Hoover Metropolitan Stadium. In 1996, the Barons

began a tradition of returning to Rickwood for one “Turn Back the Clock” game each seaon. The event, known as the “Rickwood Classic”, is a celebration of baseball’s rich tradition in Birmingham.

BARONS HISTORY

The history of the Birmingham Barons dates back to 1885, when the Barons (originally named the Coal Barons) played in many southern leagues during the early years of baseball. As leagues came and went, baseball in Birmingham survived. In 1901, the Southern Association formed with teams in Birmingham, Chattanooga, Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, Selma and Shreveport.

The modern Barons’ first Southern Association title came in 1906 as the team went 85-47 under manager Harry Vaughn. It would be the first of 14 titles for the Barons in their long and storied history. Irving Wilhelm pitched the Barons’ first perfect game on July 6 that year, a 7-0 victory over Montgomery. The win was one of the 87 Wilhelm would have as a Baron, still the most in club history.

A NEW HOME AND OWNER: WOODWARD AND RICKWOOD FIELDIn 1887, the Birmingham Barons were playing at the Slag Pile (West End Park), located on 6th Street between 1st Avenue North and the Alabama Great Southern Railroad tracks. The old Slag Pile grandstand would only hold approximately 600 fans. T.C.I., which owned the land, would only grant one 60-day lease at a time. A.H. (Rick) Woodward, the late Birmingham millionaire industrialist, decided to buy the team in 1910 from J. William McQueen, the Barons’ owner since 1901.

After reaching the final terms of the sale in February 1910, Woodward’s first objective was to construct a ballpark. In a short time, he produced plans for the first concrete and steel ballpark in the minor leagues. Woodward consulted legendary Philadelphia Athletics manager Connie Mack about building the 12.7-acre park. Rickwood was modeled after such parks as Philadelphia’s Shibe Park and Pittsburgh’s Forbes Field. Construction of Rickwood was completed prior to the first game played there on August 18, 1910. The Barons won the opener over Montgomery, 3-2, after a two-run rally in the ninth inning. A crowd in excess of 10,000 came for the contest.

MOLESWORTH AND THE BARONSAn outfielder in addition to the manager, Carlton Molesworth arrived in Birmingham in 1908 and served longer than anyone as skipper of the Barons (1908-22). “Moley” helped the Barons to two Southern Association (SA) titles, making his name synonymous with Birmingham baseball. The Barons won their first SA pennant for Molesworth at Rickwood in 1912 as they held off Mobile with an 85-51 record. This was the season that Jimmy Johnston stole 81 bases for Birmingham.

The first of five Hall of Famers to wear a Barons uniform was Burleigh Grimes. The right-handed pitcher played in Birmingham from 1914-16 and later became one of the last legal spitball pitch-ers in Major League Baseball. In 1914, the Barons took their third SA title with an 88-62 mark. In 1915, Grimes collected 158 strikeouts and won 20 games. During the following 1916 season, he tossed a team-leading 276.0 innings.

Four pitchers threw no-hit games at Rickwood Field in 1917; three Barons (Ralph Comstock, Carmen Hill, and Ray Milligan) tallied one each, and one Little Rock pitcher recorded the other no-hitter. Hill set a Barons record for wins with a 26-12 record during that season.

A tornado ripped through Rickwood Field on the morning of Saturday, April 16, 1921. The twister destroyed the wooden outfield fence and the bleachers, causing $30,000 in damages. Cleanup operations started in the afternoon and a temporary fence was constructed for a series against Little Rock two days later.

Molesworth’s long tenure ended when he resigned as manager during the 1922 season. He remains one of only two Birmingham managers to win two SA or Southern League (SL) titles.

THE GOLDEN AGE: THE 1920S Much of America’s attention turned to sports during the 1920s. It was no different in Birmingham, where the Barons set attendance re-cords at Rickwood Field. During the decade the Barons drew 160,000 fans or more to Rickwood eight times, including a then team-record 299,150 in 1927, a year in which the Barons played all their games during the day and had no Sunday games. During the 1927 season, Hall of Famer Rube Marquard pitched for the Barons.

A total of 14 years passed before the Barons won their next Southern Association title. In 1928, the team posted a batting average of .331 and won a club-record 99 games for manager Johnny Dobbs. This was the first split-season schedule in the history of the SA; the Barons took the first-half title, then beat Memphis in three-straight games for the championship. The next season, the Barons made it back-to-back titles under Dobbs as 13 players hit .300 or better, an SA record. The Barons also won their first Dixie Series appearance, besting Texas League team Dallas, 4-2.

THE HISTORY OF BARONS BASEBALL (1885-1929)

THE LEAN YEARS: THE 1930S Baseball of the 1930s was played in the shadow of the Great Depression, but started well for the Barons as the team won the 1931 pennant for second-year manager Clyde Milan. The top pitcher for the 1931 team, Ray Caldwell, was 43. Caldwell posted a 20-12 record in 1930 and was still effective the following year (19-7) as the Barons won 97 games. The Barons took the 1931 Dixie Series from Houston after Caldwell won the opener, 1-0. A total of 20,074 turned out to Rickwood Field under the lights on September 16, 1931, to see Caldwell beat future Hall of Famer Dizzy Dean. The Barons came back from a 3-1 series deficit to take the title, four games to three. It would be the highlight of a decade in which the Barons finished in the SA’s top three just twice. The Barons also played in the 1936 Dixie Series after winning the SA playoffs (despite a third-place overall finish) before losing to Tulsa in four straight. The Depression and its financial crunch forced Woodward to sell his beloved club to Ed Norton in 1938 after three years of virtual bank ownership.

RICKWOOD’S GRAND YEARS: THE 1940s AFTER THE WARThe Barons did not claim an SA pennant during the 1940s, but the resurgence of baseball across the country after World War II brought record crowds to Rickwood from 1948-50. In 1948, the Barons drew 445,926 to Rickwood while winning the Dixie Series over Fort Worth and followed with a total attendance of 421,305 in 1949. Unfortunately, the Barons did not win another SA pennant until 1958, when they won 91 games and the pennant by just a 6 ½ game under skipper Cal Ermer. The remainder of the 1950s and early 1960s saw the club finish first in 1959 (first half ) but did not see them claim the pennant. Then, for the first time since 1898, Birmingham did not have a professional team as the Barons moved after the 1961 season.

THE NEW SOUTHERN LEAGUERickwood Field remained dark for just two years before the Barons were reborn in 1964 and joined the newly-formed Southern League, composed of former Southern Association and South Atlantic League teams. The Barons survived for two years but moved again after the 1965 campaign. The Kansas City (later Oakland) Athletics, owned by Charles O. Finley, brought baseball back to the Magic City in 1967 with the Birmingham A’s. Right out of the gate, the A’s took the Southern League title by 3 ½ games in 1967 under future Red Sox manager John McNamara. During this time (1967-75), the A’s featured Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson (1967) and Rollie Fingers (1967-68), who went on to be mainstays during Oakland’s three consecutive World Series titles (1972-74). The A’s moved after the 1975 season and Rickwood did not see Southern League Baseball for five seasons.

THE PRESENT DAY BARONSThe latest version of the Barons came to Birmingham in 1981 thanks to the efforts of Art Clarkson, who engineered the move of the Montgomery Rebels to Rickwood Field. The Barons played in front of their largest opening night crowd in 31 years (9,185) on April 14, 1981, a 6-5 win over Jacksonville. Good times followed as the Barons won the 1983 Southern League title over Jacksonville in four games. It was apparent by 1986 that historic Rickwood Field would not host the Barons forever as the team was outgrowing its facility. Clarkson made plans to move the Barons to Hoover, a Birmingham suburb, and the 10,800-seat Hoover Metropolitan Stadium. The final game at Rickwood Field (Sept. 9, 1987) was a 5-4 defeat to Charlotte in the second game of the Southern League title series. The team won “one more for Rickwood” by taking the title in four games.

NEW HOME: SAME CHAMPIONSHIP STORYThe Barons took the field for the first time at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium on April 18, 1988, defeating Greenville 8-2 in front of 13,279 fans. The Hoover “Met” became the stage for some of the best Barons teams in history as the club won three titles (1989, 1993, 2002) after the move to Hoover. Led by future big leaguers Craig Grebeck and Robin Ventura the 1989 “Runaway Train” team slugged its way to an 88-55 record and a first-half division title. After losing to Huntsville in the playoff opener, the team rattled off six straight wins to dispatch Huntsville and sweep Greenville in the championship series.

Just four years later, the Barons claimed another title. The 1993 team, under Baseball America’s Minor League Manager-of-the-Year Terry Francona, won the flag in four games over Knoxville. Future big-leaguers James Baldwin, Ray Durham, and Scott Ruffcorn anchored the team which claimed a 7-6, 10-inning win over Knoxville in the final game of the playoffs.

MICHAEL JORDANThe 1994 season was historic for the Barons simply for the attention it generated. NBA superstar Michael Jordan signed with the Chicago White Sox and was assigned to the Barons on March 31. Jordan’s popularity helped shatter the club’s single-season attendance record (467,867). Jordan hit just .202 with three home runs and 51 RBI, but collected 30 stolen bases as the club was covered by journalists from around the world. The Barons drew 985,185 fans overall (home and road) and millions of other fans watched the club play on national and regional television four times. Jordan played his final baseball game at the Hoover Met before a crowd of 16,247 on August 27, 1994.

REMEMBERING THE PAST After Elmore Sports Group Ltd. purchased the Barons in late 1995, one of their innovations with the team was to start the Rickwood Classic. Once a year, the Barons return to Rickwood Field to honor baseball’s rich tradition in Birmingham with a “Turn Back the Clock” game at what is currently recognized as the oldest in-use baseball stadium in America.

STARTING WITH A BANGThe Barons started the new millennium on a high note as the squad claimed an exciting victory in the 2002 Southern League Championship, the 13th league title for the franchise. First-year manager Wally Backman, a former major league infielder and 1986 World Series Champion, endeared himself to the fans with his gritty style of “Wally Ball”. After blowing a 2-0 series lead in the divisional playoffs, Birmingham cruised past West Tenn. in game five to set up a championship series against Jacksonville. The Barons swept the three-game series with the Suns and claimed two extra-inning victories including a dramatic 12th-inning, walk-off win in the final contest. The 2002 championship was in the middle of a stretch (2000-05), where the Barons tied a Southern League record by reaching the playoffs six straight seasons.

A PROUD LEGACYThrough the Hoover Met era, the Barons roster featured stars such as 1993-94 American League MVP Frank Thomas, 1993 Cy Young Award winner Jack McDowell, and current White Sox Manager Robin Ventura. In 2005, reliever Bobby Jenks became the 39th player since 1986 to jump straight from Birmingham to Chicago, eventually being named the team’s closer as the Sox captured the 2005 World Series Championship.

AN ALL-STAR SEASONThe 2009 season marked the second consecutive first-half division title for the Barons as the team posted a 48-21 record in the first half of play. Led by seven of the top 10 prospects in the Chicago White Sox system, the Barons posted a 92-win regular season, the most in modern-franchise history (since 1964). The team’s .662 winning percentage was the best in team history. That season, the Barons also hosted the Southern League All-Star Game at Regions Park (Regions Financial Corporation purchased naming rights to the Hoover Met in 2007).

FAREWELL TO HOOVERThe 2012 season marked the 25th and final season for the Barons at Regions Park in Hoover. A total of 7,186,159 fans came through the turnstiles at “The Met”, over 200,000 during each of the 25 seasons in Hoover. The Barons closed out the park in style, picking up a 5-1 win over the Chattanooga lookouts on Sept. 3, 2012.

A NEW ERA IN BIRMINGHAMIn 2010, the Barons announced a decision to relocate the team to a brand new downtown Birmingham ballpark. Ground was broken on Regions Field in February 2012 and construction was completed prior to the 2013 season. The Barons drew 396,820 fans during the ballpark’s inaugural season, and led by first-year manager Julio Vinas, capped a magical season with the 14th title in franchise history. After drawing 444,639 fans in 2015, the Barons now hold the top three season-long attendance marks in modern Southern League history. The 2016 season will mark the 118th season of baseball in Birmingham, as well as the 133rd year of existence for a historic and celebrated Minor League Baseball franchise.

S FIELD

The Story of Rickwood Field, America’s oldest ballpark, began in 1910 when millionaire Birmingham industrialist A.H. “Rick” Woodward bought the Barons from J. William McQueen. Until this point, the Barons had played all of their games since their inception in 1885 at the Slag Pile (West End Park), which seated 600 and was leased 60 days at a time.

Woodward announced plans to build the first concrete-and-steel ballpark in the minor leagues (and the fifth in all of baseball at the time). Woodward consulted with Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics during an A’s exhibition game in Birmingham. Mack helped lay out the site of the new diamond and suggested the installation of wooden louvers between the top row of the grandstand and the roof. The original layout mirrored Shibe Park in Philadelphia.

A newspaper contest decided on the name of the new structure, Rickwood Field, by using the first name and part of the last name of the owner. By the time Rickwood was ready for baseball in August 1910, the project cost had increased to a staggering $75,000 for the 7,000 seat facility.

The Barons played their first game at Rickwood on August 18, 1910, against the Montgomery Climbers. A crowd estimated at 10,000 jammed into the new facility for the opener. In true style, Woodward threw out the first pitch (for real, not for ceremony) and handed the ball to Harry Coveleski with a 1-0 count on the first batter. Barons’ manager Carlton Molesworth scored the first run in the new park. The Barons trailed, 2-1, in the bottom of the ninth and scored twice to beat the Climbers, 3-2.

Several structural changes took place to Rickwood Field during the 1920s. The roof was extended over the concrete bleachers along the right-field line and steel bleachers were added down the left-field line in 1924. The third-base side concrete bleachers were added and new box seats installed in 1927. The final expansion of the facility came in 1928 when a covered grandstand was built. The grandstand went down the first-base side and curved around the foul pole in right and behind the right-field wall. The distinctive Spanish Missionary-style entrance arcade with a two-story structure was added that same year.

Some changes in Rickwood Field were not planned. A tornado ripped through Rickwood on the morning of Saturday, April 16, 1921. The twister destroyed the wooden outfield fence and bleachers, causing approximately $30,000 in damage. A temporary fence was constructed in record time. This wooden fence was replaced by a 10-foot concrete wall, and a 30-foot-high mechanical scoreboard was placed in left-center field.

Rickwood’s Field’s finest moment came in the Dixie Series of 1931. The Barons won the Southern Association by 10 ½ games and faced the Houston Buffaloes. An all-time Rickwood Field record crowd of 20,074 shoe-horned into the park to see the matchup between Houston’s brash, young pitcher named Dizzy Dean and threw him in the first game of the series on September 16 while the Barons countered with 43-year-old Ray Caldwell. Both pitchers were masterful, and Birmingham’s Billy Bancroft settled the affair in the bottom of the eighth inning with a double to left field that scored Zach Taylor. Caldwell retired the side in the ninth inning for a 1-0 victory.

Rickwood Field’s season attendance record was set in 1948 when 445,926 fans came through the turnstiles. The fans were not disappointed as the Barons won the Dixie Series, 4-1, over the Fort Worth Panthers behind slugger Walt Dropo.

The Barons were not the only championship team at Rickwood that season. The Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues called Rickwood Field home from 1920-63. The Back Barons won the 1948 Negro American League title under star player-manager Piper Davis and 17-year-old outfielder named Willie Mays before bowing to the Homestead Grays in the Negro World Series.

Two more structural changes took place in the 1950s as the original dugouts were removed and rebuilt below ground level and box seats were added. The Dugout Restaurant was also built that year on the first-base side of the stadium.

Rickwood Field hosted the last regular Barons game on September 9, 1987. Jack McDowell took the mound for the Barons in the second game of the Southern League Championship Series, a game the Barons lost 5-4 to Charlotte. The Barons “won one for Rickwood” though, taking the series and the Southern League title, three games to one.

Starting in 1996, the Barons began a tradition of returning to Rickwood Field once a season to play the “Rickwood Classic,” a “turn back the clock” game to honor the tradition and history of baseball in the city of Birmingham. Each year since 2005, the annual induction class of the Barons Hall of Fame has been announced during the classic as well.

On August 18, 2010, Rickwood Field celebrated it’s 100th year becoming the first ballpark in America to celebrate its centennial.

Every season since 1996, the Barons have returned to their one-time home, Rickwood Field, to play a “Turn Back the Clock” game honoring Birmingham’s rich baseball heritage. The Rickwood Classic has annually been one of the most popular events for baseball fans both in Alabama and across the country.

The Classic has been covered nationally by dozens of media outlets including HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel, ESPN, MLB.com and more. Following the 2010 Classic, MiLB.com named it as the Promotion of the Year. A poll on MiLB.com showed that the Rickwood Classic was the most desirable “Road to the Show” Minor League game to attend in 2009. It was also listed fifth on the list of top events in 2008 by the Alabama Tourism Department and in ‘07 was named one of the “101 Things All Sports Fans Must Experience Before They Die” in a column written by ESPN.com’s Jim Caple. Each year’s game is designed as a tribute to a team from a particular time period in Birmingham baseball history. A brief synopsis of a few past Rickwood Classics are found below; a year-by-year history and extended 20th anniversary recap can be found on the next page.

2014 • 19TH ANNUAL RICKWOOD CLASSIC • BIRMINGHAM BARONS 2 • MISSISSIPPI BRAVES 52014 celebrated the ‘Roaring Twenties’, a decade that saw the Barons capture two Southern Association titles and set numerous attendance records at Rickwood Field. Former Cy Young Award winner, National League Rookie of the Year, and four-time All-Star Dwight Gooden was the Classic’s special guest.

The Barons held strong in a scoreless tie early but were unable to rally and overcome a deficit late in a 5-2 loss to the Mississippi Braves in front of 8,686 fans.

2013 • 18TH ANNUAL RICKWOOD CLASSIC • BIRMINGHAM BARONS 6 • TENNESSEE SMOKIES 3The Barons and Tennessee Smokies celebrated the 1948 Birmingham Black Barons. The team featured a young Willie Mays, Piper Davis, Artie Wilson and other well-known Negro League talent and won the Negro American League pennant over the rival Kansas City Monarchs. The Barons, wearing the uniforms worn by the 1948 Black Barons featuring the iconic “triple B” logo, picked up a 6-3 win behind three hits and two RBI from catcher Miguel Gonzalez.

2012 • 17TH ANNUAL RICKWOOD CLASSIC • CHATTANOOGA 7 • BIRMINGHAM BARONS 6The 2012 Rickwood Classic celebrated War Time Baseball and focused on baseball’s connection to America’s war-time history. The Barons donned uniforms from the early 1940s when they were affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds. The uniforms also featured the Hale America “Health” patch, which was worn by both major league and minor league teams during the era. The Barons were unable to replicate 2011’s comeback victory against the Chattanooga, falling by a score of 7-6. Former Lookout, Corey Smith, hit a two-run home run in the losing effort.

2011 • 16TH ANNUAL RICKWOOD CLASSIC • BIRMINGHAM BARONS 4 • CHATTANOOGA 3In 2011, the Barons celebrated the 50th anniversary of the 1961 season, which was the final season of the Southern Association. These two clubs had a season-long battle, where the Lookouts nipped the Barons by one game in the standings to earn the league championship. The Barons donned 1960s style grey uniforms for the game. Hall of Fame pitcher Gaylord Perry was the Guest of Honor. The Barons won on a walk-off home run by Justin Greene in the 11th inning.

2010 • 15TH ANNUAL RICKWOOD CLASSIC • TENNESSEE SMOKIES 8 • BIRMINGHAM BARONS 7 Celebrating Rickwood Field’s 100th Birthday, the Tennessee Smokies and Birmingham Barons turned back time in classic turn of the century uniforms.

2009 • 14TH ANNUAL RICKWOOD CLASSIC • MISSISSIPPI BRAVES 3 • BIRMINGHAM BARONS 2With the Southern League All-Star Game set to return to the Magic City later in the summer, it was fitting that the Rickwood Classic honor the 1982 Southern League All-Star Game when the Atlanta Braves traveled to Rickwood Field to take on the Southern League All-Stars. The Barons wore red jerseys with white script, and the hats featured a custom “B” from the 1980s.

2008 • 13TH ANNUAL RICKWOOD CLASSIC • JACKSONVILLE SUNS 4 • BIRMINGHAM BARONS 2For the second straight year, the Barons hosted the Jacksonville Suns, who again wore their 1967 jerseys. Birmingham paid homage to its 1951-52 teams and their affiliation with the Boston Red Sox. The Barons “jerseys” were gray with blue script, and the hats featured the traditional Boston (and Birmingham) “B”.

2007 • 12TH ANNUAL RICKWOOD CLASSIC • BIRMINGHAM BARONS 3 • JACKSONVILLE SUNS 2In 2007, the Barons celebrated their affiliation with the Kansas City Athletics organization in 1964-65, which coincided with the first two years of existence with the Southern League. Barons players donned the gold road uniforms of the 1964 Birmingham A’s and the Jacksonville Suns wore the uniforms of the 1967 team that featured Hall-of-Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan.

2006 • 11TH ANNUAL RICKWOOD CLASSIC • BIRMINGHAM BARONS 3 • TENNESSEE SMOKIES 2In 2006, Birmingham played the Tennessee Smokies with festivities geared around the era of the Birmingham Barons’ affiliation with the New York Yankees (1953-56). The Barons wore white uniforms with blue pinstripes, as well as blue caps with a custom-style “B” from the mid 1950s.

The Barons donned the uniforms worn by the 1924 team featuring the iconic monogram B in Old English script on the left side of the jersey. The Birmingham News decried that the uniforms were, “…about the classiest ever – a white jersey with a red stripe along the outside seams and around the sleeves”.

RICKWOOD CLASSIC

2015 • 20TH ANNUAL RICKWOOD CLASSIC • BIRMINGHAM BARONS 2 • JACKSONVILLE SUNS 8The 20th edition of the classic celebrated the 1948 season, the theme of the first classic, as well as the Barons fourth Dixie Series title. Birmingham joined the Southern Association in 1901, and the Dixie Series was played between the playoff champions of the Southern Association and the Texas League. The Black Barons also won the Negro American League title the same season behind a 17-year-old outfielder named Willie Mays patrolling the greens at Rickwood.

Former Rookie of the Year, eight-time Major League Baseball All-Star, and four-time World Series champion Darryl Straw-berry was the guest of honor as the Barons dropped an 8-2 decision to the Jacksonville Suns. The Barons pulled even early but a four run fifth-inning proved to be too much to overcome as Jacksonville sent the crowd of 7,046 home dissapointed with the outcome despite an incredible afternoon at the ballpark.

HOOVER METROPOLITAN STADIUM/REGIONS PARK

The home of the Birmingham Barons for 25 years, Regions Park (formerly Hoover Metropolitan Stadium) replaced Rickwood Field as the home of the Barons in 1988. The Barons played their first official game at the “Met” on April 16, 1988, against the Greenvile Braves and won, 8-2 in front of 13,279 fans.

The facility, part of the Trace Crossings development, was constructed just three miles from the heart of Hoover, the Riverchase Galleria. Upon completion, Regions Park could seat 10,800 (3,202 box seats & 7,598 general admission seats) and the project cost was $14.5 million. It was designed by Gresham, Smith & Partners of Birmingham with Helmuth, Obata & Kassabaum (HOK) of Kansas City. Construction of the 70-acre facility was done by Harbert Commercial Construction Division while the Harbert HPS Division served as the project manager. Harbert Properties Group with USR Realty Group (a subsidiary of USX) formed a joint venture to develop the property, located off Highway 150 South near the intersection of I-459 and Highway 150.

The “Met” was the stage for some of the best Barons teams in history as the club won three titles (1989, 1993, 2002) after the move to Hoover. Led by future big leaguers Craig Grebeck and Robin Ventura the 1989 “Runaway Train” team slugged its way to an 88-55 record and a first-half division title. After losing to Huntsville in the playoff opener, the team rattled six-straight wins to dispatch Huntsville and sweep Greenville in the championship series.

Just four years later, the team claimed yet another title. The 1993 team, under Baseball America Minor League Manager of the Year Terry Francona won the championship in four games over Knoxville. Future big-leaguers James Baldwin, Ray Durham, and Scott Ruffcorn anchored the team which claimed a 7-6, 10-inning win over Knoxville in the final game of the playoffs.

The 1994 season was historic for the Barons as NBA superstar Michael Jordan signed with the Chicago White Sox and was assigned to the Barons on March 31. Jordan’s popularity helped shatter the club’s single-season attendance record (467,867). Jordan played his final baseball game at the “Met” before a crowd of 16,247 on August 27, 1994.

The Barons claimed their final Hoover-era title in an exciting 2002 Southern League Championship victory. First-year manager Wally Backman brought “Wally Ball” to the “Met” as the Barons swept the three-game series with

Jacksonville. The Barons needed two extra-inning victories including a dramatic 12th-inning, walk-off win in the final contest, to sweep the Suns. The championship was in the middle of a stretch (2000-05), where the Barons tied a Southern League record by reaching the playoffs six straight seasons. The Barons reached the playoffs in 13 of their 25 seasons at the “Met”

The Barons drew 7,186,159 fans through the gates of the “Met” and surpassed 200,000 in attendance all 25 seasons in Hoover. The Barons sent the “Met” out in style, defeating the Chattanooga Lookouts 5-1 on September 3, 2012.

EIGHT FORMER BARONS VISIT THE WHITE HOUSE

Eight former Birmingham Barons traveled to Washington D.C. on Monday, Feb. 13, 2006, celebrating the Chicago White Sox 2005 World Series win. White Sox players enjoyed a private tour of the White House and received recognition from President George W. Bush in honor of their title.

The former Barons who traveled to Washington D.C. were: pitchers Mark Buehrle (2000), Neal Cotts (2003), Jon Garland (1999-00) and Brandon McCarthy (2004); infielder Joe Crede (1999-00); and outfielders Brian Anderson (2004), Joe Borchard (2000-01), and Aaron Roward (2000).

With their four-game sweep over the Houston Astros in the 2005 World Series, the Chicago White Sox snapped an 88-year title drought and captured their first championship trophy since the 1917 season. Chicago’s sweep in late October marked just the 19th time in World Series history that the feat had been accomplished in four games. Moreover, with their 11-1 record in the 2005 playoffs, the White Sox tied the second-best single-season winning percentage (.917) in postseason history.

Buehrle recorded a save in game three while Cotts earned the victory in game two. Crede and Rowand each hit .294 during the World Series, while Crede also added a pair of home runs (games one and three) and three RBIs during the 2005 Fall Classic.

Former Barons Frank Thomas (infielder, 1990) and Bobby Jenks (pitcher, 2005) were unavailable to travel with the White Sox to Washington D.C. Jenks, who began the 2005 season in Birmingham, notched saves in both the opening and closing games of the World Series, becoming one of the most celebrated call-ups in recent Barons history.

THE JORDANCRUISERMICHAEL JORDAN MAY BE OUT OF BASEBALL BUT THE JORDANCRUISER, THE MOST-TALKED ABOUT TEAM TRANSPORT MOTORCOACH IN SPORTS HISTORY, IS STILL SEEING ACTION … JUST NOT IN BIRMINGHAM.

THE BARONS, ALONG WITH THRASHER BROTHERS NEGOTIATED WITH JORDAN’S AGENT DAVID FALK AND MOTOR COACH INDUSTRIES, THE MAKER OF THE JORDANCRUISER, TO PUT THE TEAM IN A STATE-OF-THE-ART MOTOR COACH IN 1994. JORDAN DID NOT AS WIDELY REPORTED, BUY THE JORDANCRUISER, WHICH HAD ORIGINALLY COST $357,500.

THE JORDANCRUISER MADE ITS INAUGURAL APPEARANCE ON APRIL 14, 1994, WHEN THE BARONS TOOK THEIR FIRST ROAD TRIP TO CHATTANOOGA AND CAROLINA. THE DEPARTURE TO CHATTANOOGA WAS COVERED BY 10 DIFFERENT NEWS ORGANIZATIONS, AND PICTURES OF THE COACH WERE PUBLISHED IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES. THE FRONT LICENSE PLATE, WHICH HAD A BARONS LOGO, WAS SIGNED BY FANS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. JORDAN AUTOGRAPHED THE MOTORCOACH ON BOTH SIDES BEFORE THE FINAL GAME OF THE 1994 SEASON, MAKING IT A ONE-OF-A-KIND ITEM.

THE JORDANCRUISER IS 45 FEET LONG AND 8 ½ FEET WIDE. IT HAS 34 RECLINING SEATS AND CAN SEAT AN ADDITIONAL 10 PEOPLE IN A LARGE LOUNGE AREA IN THE REAR OF THE BUS. THE CLIMATE-CONTROLLED BUS HAS SIX TELEVISION MONI-TORS/VIDEO PLAYERS AND A FULL STEREO.

THE BARONS DISCONTINUED USE OF THE JORDANCRUISER AFTER THE COACH WAS THE MAIN TEAM TRANSPORT FOR THE BARONS FROM 1994-2001. THE JORDANCRUISER TRANSPORTED THE SQUAD TO ALL OF ITS DESTINATIONS IN THE LEAGUE. DURING ITS STAY IN BIRMINGHAM THE JORDANCRUISER WAS ALSO RENTED BY TOUR GROUPS ALL YEAR LONG.

IN MARCH 2007, THE JORDANCRUISER’S PARENT COMPANY, THRASHER BROTHERS TRAILWAYS, SOLD THE MOTORCOACH TO WILSON BUS LINES OF WASHINGTON D.C. FOR “TWICE WHAT IT’S WORTH,” ACCORDING TO THRASHER BROTHERS OWNER JIM THRASHER.

RAY CALDWELLRay Caldwell’s big league career was well behind him by the time he pitched for the Birmingham Barons after pitching 12 seasons with the Yankees, Red Sox, and Indians. After compiling a career record of 134-120 with a 3.22 ERA, the native of Croydon, PA pitched until 1933 when he was 45-years-old.

EDDIE GLENNONA native of Philadelpia, PA, Eddie Glennon had a way with fans, and those fans flocked to Rickwood Field from the time he took over as the Barons General Manager in 1946 until he left following the 1961 season. An innovator, Glennon made the game more fan-friendly and targeted previously untargeted sectors of fans.

FRANK THOMASThe Big Hurt, as he came to be known during a 19-year Major League Baseball career that saw him hit .301 with 521 home runs, was one of the most feared hitters of his era. Thomas’s uncanny combination of power and average led him to five Major League All-Star teams and back-to-back MVP awards for the Chicago White Sox in 1993 and 1994. Thomas was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.

ROBIN VENTURAConsidered by many one of the best-hitting college players of all time after posting a record 58-game hitting streak in 1987, Ventura was selected by the Chicago White Sox with the 10th pick of the 1987 First-Year Player Draft.

After falling in their first Dixie Series appearance to Houston in 1928, Dobbs and the Barons capped off the 1929 season with a Dixie Series victory against Dallas.

He helped form a 38-station network in four states for Barons broadcasts and later worked on television in Kentucky and South Florida after leaving Birmingham in 1960. His booming golden tones brought Barons games to fans throughout the southeast and provided the backdrop for Barons baseball during one of the sport’s iconic eras.

WILLIAM GREASONA member of the Birmingham Black Barons from 1948 – 1951, Bill Greason went on to pitch for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1954. Greason, a 29-year-old at the time, was the first black pitcher to take the mound for the Cardinals.

“CATFISH” OUT OF WATERThere is a popular misconception that Hall of Fame pitcher Jim “Catfish” Hunter played for the Birmingham A’s during the team’s affilation with the Kansas City Athletics in the 1960’s.

Not so -- he is listed as one of baseball’s many players to have jumped directly to Major League Baseball after singing his professional contract.

by Chris Fullerton

“Your uniform was about the best thing you had,” recalls former Birmingham Baron Nat Pollard, “and you thought you were something when you had it on. You looked good and the people were out there to see you, and that’s what made you want to play.”

For over 40 years, the Black Barons were “the jewel of Southern black baseball” and an integral part of the African-American community that developed in Birmingham in the wake of segregation. Barred from organized baseball by an unwritten, but universal, policy of racial discrimination, the Black Barons and the other teams of the Negro Leagues gave an opportunity to play

to those who were otherwise excluded from the game. Not only heroes on the diamond, these men were also an important part of the community that supported them, as they served as role models of success and professionalism. Today, the legacy of the Black Barons can be seen in every ballpark in America, where the game they devoted so much of their lives to is open to all and can truly be considered our “National Pastime.”

The first Black Baron team emerged in the years following World War I, and may have been an ACIPCO team that defected to create the professional franchise. In 1920, the Black Barons became charter members of the Negro Southern League, an eight-member circuit that loosely mirrored the all-white Southern Association, sharing both their ballparks and minor-league status. Three years later, Birmingham was given its first opportunity for a major-league franchise by the Negro National League, the highest level of black baseball in America and the home of the Barons for the remainder of the decade.

It was during these years, the team saw some of its greatest players pass through on their way to stardom, the most notable being a tall, lanky pitcher from Mobile who callled himself “Satchel.” Winning over 2,000 of the estimated 2,500 games he pitched in, Leroy “Satchel” Paige is arguably the greatest pitcher of all time. Joining the Black Barons in 1928, Paige quickly became a

Birmingham favorite, although his now-legendary control was still far from perfect. Yet his speed, combined with his natural sense of showmanship, made Satchel the club’s top drawing card. He played for the Black Barons through the end of the 1930 season and then, like so many other promising players in the South, he left for the wealthier, more profitable franchises of the North.

Like most Negro League teams, the Black Barons did not have a ballpark of their own, but instead rented Rickwood Field from the white Barons, using the park on Sundays or during the Barons’ road trips. Game days were an important event in the city’s black community, and according to both players and fans, the Black Barons regularly outdrew their white counterparts. In addition to the thrill of the game, jitterbug contests, beauty pagents and visiting celebrities like Lena Horne and Lionel Hampton added a degree of excitement to the program and brought hundreds more to the park. Built in 1910, Rickwood Field stands today as the nation’s oldest baseball park.

Home games, however, only represented half of the Black Barons’ busy schedule. Frequent road trips took the team throughout the South, Midwest and North, playing from town to town all the way to their final destination. In the small towns of the South, the Black Barons were greeted with enthusiasm by the locals, many having never before seen a professional team.

In 1939, the Black Barons were purchased by a Memphis undertaker named Tom Hayes, and over the next decade the greatest teams in the franchise’s history emerged. Winning three pennants in 1940, 1945 and 1948, and producing another future star, Willie Mays, the Black Barons enjoyed success in a time when other Negro League franchises were folding. At Chicago’s Comiskey Park, the annual Negro League East-West All-Star game saw 12 different Black Barons between 1940 and1950. Lorenzo “Piper” Davis played in the game four years straight while shortstop Artie Wilson played in four contests. Four of the Birmingham players from those years, Mays, Wilson, Jehosia Heard and Bill Greason, played in the majors following integration.

When Jackie Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1946 breaking baseball’s color barrier, the hard-fought goal of the Negro Leagues was finally realized. In 1948, the Black Barons and the Homestead Grays met in the last Negro League World Series, playing in Rickwood and other Southern parks in hopes of drawing large crowds. Birmingham lost the series, 4-1, but more importantly, the diminished number of fans and small profits clearly spelled out that the end of the Leagues was near and simply a matter of time. The Black Barons played their last season in 1963, quickly fading away into obscurity against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement. Only in the past several years have the careers of these athletes been salvaged from anonymity, their feats on the base paths finally being put down on paper for future generations. The Black Barons were heroes both to their fans and to their profession, and if they represent some of the worst aspects of baseball, they also represent some of the best.

(Editor’s Note: Chris was a true friend of the Birmingham Barons. In addition to serving as the first Executive Director of the Friends of Rickwood Field, he was also the author of “Striking Out Jim Crow: The Birmingham Black Barons.” Chris passed away in the spring of 1997.)

2015 South Atlantic League North Division First Half

The Intimidators franchise moved to Kannapolis in 1995 from Spartanburg, S.C., where they had been a Class-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. Debate raged in the Kannapolis area over what to name the team. A name-the-team contest in the fall of 1995 drew thousands of entries, and team officials settled on the boll weevil as the team’s new mascot, indicative of Kannapolis’ history as a textile mill town (Kannapolis natives are even called “lintheads”). The Piedmont Boll Weevils would keep that mascot until after the 2000 season, when NASCAR racing legend Dale Earnhardt purchased a share in the team’s ownership. It was then that the name was changed to the Kannapolis Intimidators, in honor of Earnhardt’s legendary nickname.

2015 Pioneer League Composite Standings

The “Voyagers” name refers to an event in August 1950 when Nicholas Mariana, the General Manager of the Great Falls Electrics, saw two spinning objects approaching at a seemingly high speed. Mariana recorded 16 seconds of foot-age documenting the unidentified flying objects over Legion Park. In 2008, the minor-league baseball team in Great Falls was renamed the Great Falls Voyagers in honor of the Mariana UFO incident.

REGIONS FIELD

The 2013 season brought a new era of Barons baseball to Birmingham with the opening of Regions Field. Located on 1st Avenue South and 14th Street South, adjacent to Railroad Park, Regions Field is the crown jewel of Birmingham’s newly developed Parkside District. The state of the art facility seats 8,500 fans in a variety of unique seating areas, creating an intimate atmosphere and putting Barons fans closer to the action than ever before. This sparkling venue offers unique views of the downtown skyline, UAB, Vulcan statue, and Red Mountain.

During development, the design team led by HKS, Inc. and Hoskins Architecture worked to ensure that the ballpark drew on the rich heritage and history of Birmingham. In giving Regions Field a truly unique atmosphere, they considered Birmingham’s rich baseball heritage, the city’s role in the civil rights movement, and the Magic City’s steel manufacturing past. The stadium facade utilizes brick and steel as an homage to Birmingham’s industrial past and to better blend Regions Field with the sur-rounding neighborhood. Additionally, design elements inspired from Rickwood Field and Sloss Furnaces were utilized in its physical design.

With a continued emphasis on providing the most fun and affordable family-friendly entertainment in Birmingham, Regions Field features a variety of unique attractions including two unique children’s playgrounds, numerous group areas, an adult beer garden, and a spacious 360-degree concourse that will allow fans to see the action on the field as

they move around the park.

Regions Field also features 23 fully furnished Luxury Suites as well as a 400 seat Club Seating section, which has access to a VIP Suite Level Lounge. The Regions Field Banquet Facility features views of the playing field and the downtown skyline while offering year-round access for events of all sizes. With a host of modern amenities, Regions Field is the perfect destination for families, groups and businesses alike.

Joining the Barons as naming rights partner is Regions Financial, continuing a relationship that started in 2007 when the institution purchased the naming rights for Regions Park.

The Barons christened Regions Field with a 9-5 win over the Mississippi Braves on April 10th, 2013. The win marked the beginning of a magical season for the Barons, who won 14 of their first 16 games at Regions Field and finished with a Southern League best home record of 44-26.

The Barons capped the ballpark’s inaugural season with the 14th Championship in franchise history, winning the decisive fifth game by a score of 4-2 over the Mobile BayBears in front of a raucous home crowd.

The team drew 389,552 fans to Regions Field and a total of 396,820 during the regular season including the Rickwood Classic, making it the fourth highest total in franchise history and the sixth most in a single season since the Southern League formed in 1964 . Following the season, Regions Field was named Ballpark of the Year by BaseballParks.com.

Regions Field will continue to provide Barons fans with an unparalleled game day experience for years to come, combin-ing the amenities and family-friendly comforts of today’s newer parks with the architectural nuances and intimacy of stadiums from yesteryear.

REGIONS FIELD TIMELINE

August 15, 2012 (Todd Media Inc.)

December 2009: • Robert Simon and Corporate Realty Development commission a feasibility and economic impact study for a potential sports facility in downtown Birmingham. The study indicates that such a facility and surrounding development could be a boon to the downtown area.

June 2010: Mayor William Bell pursues the project and proposes increasing the city’s lodging tax by 4.5% to fund construction of the facility.

September 2010 - Railroad Park opens south of the Norfolk Southern and CSX rail lines. The park stretches from 14th Street to 18th Street along First Avenue South.

October 26, 2010 - Mayor Bell’s funding proposal is approved by the Birmingham City Council.

November 10, 2010 - Barons owners Don, Stan, and Jeff Logan sign a tentative agreement with the City of Birmingham to relocate the team to the new downtown facility.

December 2010: • $63 million in private placement bonds are secured through BBVA Compass and Citizens Trust Bank. • After considering multiple locations for the proposed ballpark the City Council approved a commercial property appraisal for the preferred site between I-65 and Railroad Park. The plan is dubbed the “Parkside District” by Robert Simon as he aims to make Regions Field the anchor for major revitalization of the area.

July 2011 - Mayor Bell submits a package of contracts to the City Council that includes a land-swap with UAB to acquire a large parcel between 14th and 16th streets, just south of the Railroad Park site. The proposal established a “Public Athletic Cultural and Entertainment Facilities Board” which would issue $59.8 million in bonds for development of the project.

November 2011 - Birmingham wins conditional approval for demolition of existing buildings on the proposed site of the ballpark. A preliminary site orientation plan shows an updated layout, with home plate oriented to the northwest, at the corner of 1st Avenue S. and 14th Street and an entrance plaza facing Railroad Park. The original layout of the stadium had center field located at the northern end of the facility with the backdrop being the skyline of downtown Birmingham.

January, 2012 - Pre-construction work on the ballpark site begins

February 2nd, 2012 - A special Groundbreaking Ceremony is held commemorating the start of construction. A huge crowd of over 1,000 people were on hand as Regions Bank was announced as the naming rights sponsor. Renderings of the ballpark were released for the first time.
