The renovated Rickwood Field, formerly home to the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro league, was the setting for a game that took on a special meaning with many former Negro league players in attendance. It was also the perfect way to remember the legacy of Willie Mays.Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why this event went beyond just the baseball game that was played, and they talk about Reggie Jackson's poignant remarks during the pregame show and the importance of taking Major League Baseball on the road to play in special venues.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan sit down with potential first-rounder Brody Brecht from the MLB Draft Combine to talk about his choice of playing professional baseball over football, the first time he ever hit 100 mph as a pitcher and attending the University of Iowa at the same time as Caitlin Clark.

The St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants will meet in a special ballgame at Birmingham, Alabama's historic Rickwood Field tomorrow. That ballpark is 114 years old, the oldest professional field in America, and was the home to two teams named The Barons: one black and one white. And what happened on that field: a community gathering to cheer both squads, and the nation's first integrated baseball game was a reflection of what happened in the city during the Civil Rights struggle. Today we are joined by Roy Wood Jr. Comedian, Daily Show veteran, baseball fan - who grew up in the shadow of Rickwood Field.

What does a comedian know about baseball? And what can America's oldest baseball field tell us about the civil rights movement?Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama is America's oldest ballpark. It's older than Wrigley Field and Fenway park. But its history is full of contradictions. In its heyday, Rickwood was home to both the Birmingham Barons and the Birmingham Black Barons, one of the most talented teams in the Negro Leagues. The field hosted a women's suffrage event, but the stadium's owner also allowed a KKK rally to take place there.Comedian Roy Wood Jr. hosts a new podcast called Road to Rickwood from WWNO & WRKF, which takes a closer look at the field's history as a microcosm of the civil rights movement itself. Wood Jr. grew up in Birmingham playing baseball at Rickwood. In the podcast, he speaks to historians, civic leaders, major league baseball executives, former Negro Leaguers, and members of Alabama's first integrated sports team. For himself and those he interviewed, baseball was an oasis. It was also a space where racism shaped the lives of some of the nation's best baseball players.In today's episode of The Sunday Story, Wood Jr. sits down with host Ayesha Rascoe to talk baseball, Birmingham, and race in America.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Bomani Jones starts the show by sharing his thoughts on Game 2 of the NBA Finals by specifically mentioning Luka Doncic's number 1 fan, Nick Wright who was in attendance. Bomani then tries to figure out what's wrong with Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and the Mavericks. (0:50) And following the Game 2 win by the Celtics, Bomani gives his props to Jaylen Brown and Joe Joe Mazzulla. But also brings up Joe Mazzulla's strange answer in a press conference a few days ago and why he is a bit of a weird guy. (11:40) We then transition to Caitlin Clark who is in the headlines once again, this time because she was left off the Olympic team. Bomani stresses the way the headlines were worded as left off vs not earning a spot, and why people arguing she should be on the team for business reasons instead of basketball reasons are straight up wrong. (22:00) Finally we get another round of If You Haven't Heard Stories and your voicemails of getting beat in basketball by a woman. (42:30) . . .
