While it is known what the 2024 Major League Baseball game at Rickwood Field will not be called, Thursday is set to bring clarity on the name of the regular season contest between the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants at the historic Birmingham stadium.

MLB officials are joining Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin and guests including former MLB players Ryan Howard, Randy Winn and Ron “Papa Jack” Johnson,Negro Leagues preservationists and advocates and the general managers of the Birmingham Barons and the Montgomery Biscuits for the unveiling of the game’s name and logo.

The announcement is set for 3:30 p.m. Thursday at Rickwood Field, the oldest baseball park in America.

The Cardinals and Giants are scheduled to face each other on June 20, 2024.

The game will include activities saluting the Negro Leagues and Hall of Famer and Alabama native Willie Mays. The baseball legend is also a former Birmingham Black Baron who played at the historic ballpark.

Birmingham’s game takes the same format as the one played in Dyersville, Iowa at the site of the famed “Field of Dreams” movie set.

That series of games garnered instant notoriety from nostalgia of the 1989 film and was branded as the “MLB at Field of Dreams Game.”

But, Birmingham’s Rickwood Field sits in the Rising-West Princeton neighborhood, not in a cornfield, and MLB does not transfer brands for regular season games.

So, the Field of Dreams remains in Iowa and another name must be chosen for Birmingham.

Also joining Thursday’s festivities are MLB network analyst and former player Harold Reynolds, who will serve as the event’s emcee; Mike Hill, senior vice president of on-field operations for MLB; Gerald Watkins of Friends of Rickwood; Negro Leagues Baseball Museum President Bob Kendrick; and MLB field and stadium consultant Murray Cook.

Officials are also expected to provide updates on renovations to Rickwood to prepare the stadium for Major League action.
