Alabama Baseball

It's a simple fact. No other state in the South boasts as impressive a list of native baseball legends as Alabama does. Hank Aaron. Willie Mays. Satchel Paige. Don Sutton. Ozzie Smith. Willie McCovey. All legends of the game. All hailing from Alabama. In fact, there are 12 native Alabamians in the Baseball Hall of Fame, the most of any state in the Southeast.

So come see the birthplaces of some of the greatest players to ever play the game. Or come scout the state's next great baseball prospects, with minor league teams in Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile and Huntsville. You can even visit Rickwood Field in Birmingham, the oldest baseball stadium in America, where every single thing from baseball's golden era is preserved – from the stadium right down to the uniforms. Simply put, if you love baseball, you'll love Alabama.
