The San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals will meet in what seems tantamount to a temporary replacement for the Field of Dreams Game in 2024, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. The game is expected to be played at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama.
MLB has not yet announced any future plans for the annual spectacle, including what it will call the game. This game will not be called the Field of Dreams Game and the hope is that MLB can return to Dyersville, Iowa for that game in the near future, reports Susan Slusser.
Rickwood Field opened in 1910 and is the oldest professional ballpark in America. It was home to the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues, Willie Mays' team from 1948-50. Mays joined the New York Giants in 1951. The Giants and Cardinals would likely wear throwback uniforms, as with the Field of Dreams Games.
