Showdown at Rickwood: Book Signing with Art Black

Join us as we welcome Art Black, author of Showdown at Rickwood, a book about Birmingham's history and baseball's past. This is not only a book about Birmingham's legendary ball park, Rickwood Field. It is a story of the people and events of the early 1900s: the Titanic, World War I, the Roaring Twenties, Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic, Lindbergh's visit to Birmingham, the 1929 stock market crash, and the Great Depression. ​ These events, along with tales about early Birmingham, put the story of Rickwood Field and its people into historical context. A reception and book signing will follow the program. Books will be available for purchase.
